Depends on the electrolite. I imagine alot of them would, but some not. I'm sure opc will fill us in.

There is no damage to the rubber at all!!!

I have about 200 litres of ordinary water and two 1L bottles of something called paintingsoda (sodium carbonate). I buy that in my local hardware shop, was wery cheap:lol:

Put the negative clamp of the battery charger on the stuff you like to clean and the possitive clamp on the sacrificial anode, than wait atleast one day:rolleyes:

[TMODAlpha]

Ah, sodium carbonate wont touch them, but some acidic electrolytes would have perished the rubber. Didnt think sodium carbonate would work THAT well. Amazing work :)

Do the rear anti role bar do much for handeling??

[TMODAlpha]

Stiffens the back end and stops body roll. So, yes. (Sorry for spamming thread, again)
