I use moly grease on all metal parts in my springers. A VERY light smear around the edge of the seal is enough.

I got mine so long ago I can't remember, but google it. NZ Blackwoods had it. It's not too hard to find.

You don't need much, just work it into the surfaces that touch.

Turning Delrin is fun. Have you noticed the smell it can give off if it gets a bit warm? I reckon it smells like formaldehyde.

I use blackwoods a bit Iwill give them a try.
I’ve turned Delrin bushes for some machine parts before, hopefully get some offcuts in town.
Thanks for info appreciated.

Agree GA50 for areas of metal to metal contact including compression spring.

The prosport wont need much - probably wants to run on the drier side.
The delrin rings on the piston and comp tube have very little friction so a small smear of moly paste on them, and a small smear on the pack end of the piston seal (none on the front face)

A thin coat of Red Tacky grease on the spring, i use this stuff on any springer spring http://www.nzpartsonline.co.nz/oils/grease/111855.html
