Zincs on trailer

[intrepid]

Can you put some kinda zinks <br /><br /> ie (welding rods or some such )<br /><br /> on the TRAIler and get some less rusting on the trailer<br /><br /> or is it not worth the effort ?

What you have to keep in mind is that zinks don't stop rust on your engine or running gear. What they stop is electrolisis (sp?) which isn't rust at all, its the transfer of metal between dissimilar metals that happen to be in an electrolite solution. Basically they are there to disolve rather than some other metal but all if it will oxidize no matter what you do. Its a shame really. If you could just hang zincs on the trailer and have it withstand corriosion we'd all be using them - or at least I sure know I would be.<br /><br />Thom
