Spring Lubrication

[jord]

Do we have a replacement lubricant for our earlier springs? Ford M-4628-B . I searched all over and there seems to be no consensus on any product. Grease will harden and block all the channels on the springs.

Thanks

Been a while, but seems like we used some sort of graphite lubricant.  Perhaps you have auto parts stores there?

Many in the Model T Ford crowd use slip paint, available from the vendors.  https://www.modeltford.com/item/3800P-AER.aspx

It's a dry graphite lube that even WD40 has a version if you search for it.  Ford barn might have some too.  Remember they use dry graphite on locks to lube them.  The wet stuff can get messy!

Thanks everyone for the info, knew about slip paint but was looking for a product that used a grease gun that would fit the fitting. Not a terribly big thing for now just looking down the road.

Just thinking out loud, I’d want a molybdenum grease (best for low speed and sliding actions), and I’d want it to be waterproof (for obvious reasons). Voila!:
