Magnesium care (if Gibbs Brand is not available)
In Europe Gibbs Brand has been Out Of Stock for years now.
I just opened a 915 tranny for a full check-up.
I cleaned all parts in the parts cleaner.
I resealed the tranny after renewing all 5 synchro rings and 1 needle cage. Everything else was in very good condition after 230.000km.
While cleaning, I was carefull not to harm the protective layer Porsche applied on the magnesium in 1975.
In Europe we have no industrial DOW 7 or similar.
I would now like to clean/protect the tranny with Gibbs Brand and a layer of wax/tectyl.
However, Gibbs is not available.
Any recommendations on alternatives for protecting magnesium parts?
Or do I need to try to get Gibbs shipped from USA?
Thanks a lot!
