3macboys Posted March 2 Share Posted March 2 Not the best of pictures and I'll try to get a better one in the next couple of days but this is one pound tin from Imperial Oil of Sponge Grease. I've never heard of it before and can not find any information online. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now you have me wondering if it was used on something like the rear end gears. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will admit that I was a little concerned when the first book in the list was from the Great British Bake Off, but I suppose there's fibre and grease there and perhaps a little sponge as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Close. Franklin called for such "fiber grease" for Spicer driveshaft universal joints to resist spin-out of the grease. Paul 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
