Mobil Blue grease & gear linkage

Post by talkingwhippet »

Hi
Replacing gear linkage with kit at the weekend.
Where can I get the Mobil Blue grease that is used in Wiki article - or can I use something else?

Cheers all.

Local Mobil stockist..
Or use a quality waterproof type grease..

I have used normal high melting point wheel bearing type grease (and graphite type. some lube better than none!!) before.. but thats on worn bushes, not new ones..

I found some of that stuff at a big agricultural merchants, in a mastic gun sized tube.

HI - thanks for replies - will try local agricultural suppliers - plenty of those around here!

I'm not sure where my local Mobil stockist would be - hence question originally. How would I find out?

I got my kit from Brickwerks - hope that helps.

Thanks again.
