Doesn't old engine oil contain acidic content?
My springs have been stripped down, the surfaces polished a bit and painted with POR15.....thinly. They were then wiped over with Molyslip (it is like graphite, consisting of very slippery plates). As I understand it Moly is very difficult to remove once it is on.
Once finally fitted I will refit the leather gaiters made from the sleeves of an old leather jacket and held in place all the way along with copper wire (striped from old electrical household wiring). The wire is fixed at start end then lies along for a couple or so inches then bend 90 degrees and one turn round spring, then end fed behind the first loop and continue in same fashion to the end where the end is tied off around the end of the spring so stoping the wire sliding back.
