Hi all,
Q: Are there suppossed to be drain holes in the chassis on the underside of teh chassis itself?
The low points of the chassis are the midsections between the wheels but no drain holes underneath?
There is a 20mm or therabouts hole in the side of the chassis in the mid section but other than that, no drain holes on mine (1991 110 defender) except for a few 5-6mm holes dotted around the place on the sides which provides no access for the 8mm tube off the shutz style gun i have.
On another note I found some interesting information on box section and chassis protection in germany where someone called mike sander's has been been using a grease formulation effectively - the links follow:
Cavity Wax
WATJAG Ltd - Derek Watson - Independent Jaguar Specialist
ClubCalibra | Mike Sanders Rust Prevention Grease "Cliff Motorsport Edition Nr.321"
may be worth trying this out!
edit: apart from hot dip galvanising for internal chassis protection would I be right in assuming that marine grease might be a viable option (if thinned with with a solvent ie; white spirit or cellulose thinners for ease of application ?) for internal chassis protection?
