Egil,
The Morgans have a unique front suspension lubrication system that
utilizes a special foot operated valve that will direct some of the
pressurized engine lubrication oil into the kingpins. Perhaps this
valve along with a special manifold could be set up to "rust proof"
your automobile.
Just a thought.
Watch this space for an announcement of the new Ferguson-Massey
Automobile Rust-Proofing System.
