Hey all...

Anyone thought of 'zinc-ing' a landrover to help deal with the electroysis between the aluminum and steel frame/support elements? I've used a zinc in truck radiators and on boats. Why not landrover bodies and frames?

Because the whole thing needs to sit in an electrically conductive solution to work. Be OK if you park in the ocean.

Well suppose that due to my being on the Wets coast the truck stays damp and wet most of the year I think a zinc might have some benificial results. Perhaps not full prevention, but just one of those little things that contribute. ?? Can't do any harm to try it I guess. What do you think?
