Ron,
            Although I made provision for a lube tube into both tufnol
bushings, I read an admonition to avoid petrolium based products because
they tend to swell the tufnol. Can't confirm, but worth looking into.
Suggest you dunk a hunk into intended grease and see what hasppens over
time.............
Cheers, Ferg

| What lubricant is recommended for the front and rear tufnol bushings on
the
| control shaft?
|
| Graphite with a kerosene carrier sound OK?
|
| How often do you lube?
|
| Same question for the stabilator torque tube bushings?

| Thanks
