The drawback with undercoating is that it covers starting
corrosion until too late. If you decide to use undercoating,
in my opinion the best is to use a wax-based material since
starting rust can be easier spottet than with tar-based
undercoating. To prevent the wheel housing from rusting due
to stone chips it possible to install aluminum inserts in
the fenders. It is a Norwegian invention from the fifties,
and since patent protection ran out they are available from
www.lokari.de (no interest ...). They are EUR 110.00/pair (=
appr. USD 110.00). If you need a translation of text, just
let me know.
