The front suspension is dissembled (torsion bar adjustment) so I thought I would take the opportunity to upgrade the front brakes.
Does anybody know an upgrade path and supplier?

Also, in England there is a product called Waxoyl which is a waxy/oily product with rust inhibitory properties. It stays flexible and does not crumble away. It is excellent for spraying into cavities, in doors etc. Is there a similar product available in US? If not, what is generally used?

Thanks

Simon,
You may want to follow this thread on the jag-lovers site"

regarding a product called "Rustcheck". Their website (http://www.rustcheck.com/dealers.asp) seems to indicate US availability despite the "only in Canada" sentiments in most of the thread. No affiliation etc. etc.

In aircraft maintenance we use a product called LPS-3. LPS indicates that it is a liquified petrolium spray. This is used by airframe repair agencies and technicians worldwide. Corrosion prevention is a major issue in aviation maintenance. Available at aircraft supply outlets.

The same product is easily procured at marine stores and many auto part stores (marine section). It is in a spray can and is labeled CRC.
Very effective in a marine environment & perfect for auto applications.
