DO u rekon using a sacrificial anode would stop rust on a baja?

they use em on big ship tankers and all, learnt about em in chemistry in oxidisation and reduction reactions.

Think it would stop further rust on a baja? especially when splashing in a bit of salt?

I haven't gone into them much, but I believe they would only work on fairly New Cars....

Maybe up to 5-6 years old...

I don't think they would do much on a 30+ year old car..

Just My Opinion...

yeah of course it would work if the baja was submerged in salt water 24/7.. make it easy to slip it anyways.. :P

lol, i'm just thinking of all preventative measures, got a plane ticket to hell and if i get out, i want to make sure that i don't get that ticket again, Lol.

I don't feel too confident with just fish oil bombin' :D

Correct, you need an electrolyte to complete the circuit.

If it was an effective and economically viable method of corrosion protection, everybody would do it. Put your time, effort and money into keeping the water out and protecting the metal with paint.

ah yeah, thats right. neva thought about the electrolyte. forgot the battery diagrams i was shown couple yrs back.

Hmm...

thanks guys. Was a random idea that came into mind.
