MG TD TF 1500 - Stabilant 22A ???

For the last four years i have been on a BMW 5 series forum...while there a mechanic mentioned that when ever he did any work with electrical systems, he always applied a product called Stabilant 22 to connections/bulbs/instruments. The product happened to be manufactured in Toronto and i contacted the company.
It was invented as a "contact enhancer" in the Stereo, HiFi business, and was amazing on my bmw. Just wondering if anyone has had experience with it here? (As bmw's have about as many gremlins in their electronics as "Lucas" a lot of positive results were posted).
As i have been working around the TD, i have put a drop on every electrical connection i find... am interested to see how much trouble i have when the time comes to put juice back in the system.
The product can be ordered through VW dealers and the automotive product is diluted with alcohol (it flows into the connection and then evaporates).

The stuff is like gold (price wise) and a little goes a long way....(15 ml bottles are about $40.00 U.S. or so).

This is a link to their automotive info sheet:

Other then using it, i have no links to the company...!

Back in the '50's I was advised by a learned German mechanic named Jergen to put a dab of Girling rubber grease on all my electrical connections on my TD so as to prevent corrosion and maintain good conduction. I have done this religiously ever since (on all my Brit cars) and have never had an electric problem that could be traced to bad connection. Greg & Grimm

Stabilant is the approved contact enhancer for the Pratt& Whitney 206B helicopter engines on the Ec135 that I maintain.Works great Don Schwartz 51TDMk2 and Two 79 midgets
