Peter,
Try and find some preservative oil, known around these parts by the brand
name Cosmoline.
This, along with heavy brown paper soaked in the same, is often used for long
term storage of metal parts. You basically spray the stuff all over the part
and wrap it up in brown paper.
I'm sure
Isn't cosmoline the product used in the engine bay of our cars when they
leave the factory. Kind of a yellowy waxy looking coating?
Drop LarryT a note, I think he has some stuff from England which is similar
and may fit the bill.

Try some of the companies that advertise in British car mags that offer mail
order service. They seem to have a number of great such products. They've
had lots of need to develop such products. lol

The cosmoline I knew was this extremely sticky greasy brownish/black
stuff that parts were slathered in, and it took a long time and a lot of
solvent to get them cleaned. I think it was nuclear war proof, so after
The Big One your stuff would still be fine. Not sure that is what you
would

Drop LarryT a note
and there is
something to keep the stuff in place (wrapping in some heavy oiled paper,
like grocery bags are made of) it should be fine.
