Hi,
I have a TT to service and am looking for a recommendation for a good grease suitable for lubricating plastic cogs, arm lift and auto return linkages etc. Similar to the kind of thing that would have been used originally that will last for years without drying out.
Any advice most appreciated :-)
Thanks,
Graham.

White grease is usually used on plastic cogs. It seems to have all the right properties to do the job.

The white grease referred to is Lithium grease,you'll get some from a cycling shop or the 'bay for a £1 or 2,no need to pay over the odds. ....Mick

My preference is for Molyslip MPG grease on everything.

In the 60s I shared a flat with my then girlfriend, and our kitchen door had a white nylon roller catch which creaked, and the only lubricant to eliminate this was Molyslip.

I have just bought two Alps motorised pots, and the first thing I did was to drill a small hole in the appropriate place, and cover the white nylon cogs in Molyslip, and it removed much of the mechanical noise
