jpk Posted September 11, 2006 Share Posted September 11, 2006 Greetings all Having removed the jerry can lockers from my ex-MOD 110, the steel frame has caused extensive corrosion along the body. I'm cleaning the frames up and they will be repainted. Will this be enough to prevent this corrosion starting again? And what do I do about the bolts? I was thinking a strip of rubber around the frame where it touches the body would help, maybe grease on the bolts? How about copper grease? I've done a search and there is not much on prevention. Any suggestions much appreciated. JP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happyoldgit Posted September 11, 2006 Share Posted September 11, 2006 As well as the rubber I'd apply sealant to the holes before you tighten the bolts up too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FridgeFreezer Posted September 11, 2006 Share Posted September 11, 2006 You might like to see: Galvanic Series for which metals react - the closer they are the better IIRC. And: Galvanic Corrosion page Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
