Can I use aluminum AN fittings with steel hose ends? I am
planning on using Earl's Speed-Flex hose with Speed-Seal hose ends on
my Avid Mark IV with Grove gear and Matco brakes. Will there be corrosion
from the mating of dissimilar metals? Thanks.

The mix happens. If they are mil-spec and not the China-cheapos that we see more of, the steel will be cad (or other) plated and the aluminum will be hard-anodized. As long as it's not a saltwater seaplane application and you actually look when doing preflight and annual inspections, you should be fine. Be careful not to tighten more than absolutely necessary as the steel threads can damage the aluminum ones.
