That is fantastic Hans, thank you for your very quick and very detailed reply.

My Mk 2 seems to leak like crazy. Is the information that Hans put on his website still available as the website seems to be down now.

That was my thoughts. If that is the case it has withstood the test of time very well, which is why I wondered if it were galvanised.

I am currently in the process of rebuilding my Midas Bronze. Can anyone advise what it was made from and if it was treated in anyway, i.e galvanised. The rust on it after 30 years is little more than surface rust. I intend to clean this off and re-treat but would be interested to know this information
