lithium grease for a distrubutor
whatnow - June 7th, 2009 at 02:31 PM

this is probably in the wrong forum but i'm in a hurry so put it where the most traffic is. please feel free do delete it tonight. (please after i have gotten an answer :) )

i'm rebuilding a distributor and can't get the proper Bosch distributor grease. is lithium grease the right stuff to use instead?

btw does anyone know where i can get new fibre washers and shims for the shaft as bosch discontinued the spares kits a few years ago. i have scrounged up enough for this distrubutor (for a friend) but need more for my own distributors.

thanks
henry.

Hi,
http://www.nlaparts.com  have the grease. Fairly sure Bergs do as well.

I might try (just for giggles) a local specialist carb/distributor rebuilder for the grease.

The kit? http://www.bughaus.com  have the kit.

I've bought both items from the states myself.

Enjoy
