Peter et al,
Fair enough. I have also a "white powder lubricant" which is peculiarly like
powdered mica. I wonder if this is so?

PS: How was Oshawa?

| Ron,
| Further to Ferg's possible concerns, and with the disclaimer that I am
| definitely not a metallurgist, you may also want to confirm that| graphite
based lubricants will not create potential galvanic corrosion| issues with
the aluminum cs03 and cs07 bushes.| Cheers,| Pete| A239|

| 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| Ron
