It is worth remembering that, no matter how much we'd wish it were not true, aluminum is very easily oxidized by oxygen or moisture. That's the bad news; the good news is that the layer of oxide that is formed passivates the metal by strongly adhering to the metal and thus preventing further oxidation. BTW, does anybody have any idea what the clamp that holds the two spare tires on a pre-54 Morgan is made of? It is not magnetic. Chuck Vandergraaf vandergraaft@aecl.ca '52+4 |
