Hi,
I was trying to find some silicone grease as mentioned in the manual to lubricate the bushes/rubber boots that the brake calipers slide on, without much success at the local motor factors. What do you recommend?
There was the aerosol type from other places, but seemed to be for electrical contacts.

Thanks.

I use copper slip, rightly or wrongly

I looked for some in Halfrauds the other day and they were unable to help (as usual). Try here. http://http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Servisol-Silicone-Grease-50g-Tube_W0QQitemZ280039461711QQihZ018QQcategoryZ63900QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem
