Handbrake shoes - grease for contact points
What is the charcoal coloured grease used here (arrowed)?
These new backplates are now re-painted and on the car but I haven't put anything on the shoe contact points yet. Haynes page 9*14 just says use "high temperature brake grease or anti-seize compound". I've got some Bremtech Pad Goo but I'm not sure it's the right stuff for the metal edges of handbrake shoes. It's clear and not charcoal/graphite coloured as per the heavy duty looking stuff in the pic. |

Pad Goo is clear and the consistency is more like Tesco handwash than brake grease. |

Use Copaslip, and by that I mean real Copaslip and not generic "copper grease"
I'm looking forward to seeing the finished results of all of your hard work with this car. Brian |

I still have a tube, bought years ago, of Girling green mechanical brake grease. Have you scoured the marketplace for such alternatives? Simon

The middle bit doesn't really count 'cos it's just a flat bit with not much bolted to it Last edited by Blink; 10th November 2019 at 12:53.. |
