Default Red Rubber Grease - where from?

I need to overhaul my calipers....again. Went to Halfrauds to get some Red Rubber Grease and tried a motor factors and no joy. Was thinking about trying Ann Summers.....

Was about to buy on ebay when I spotted this..... http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Brake-Caliper-...item29ff2c2014

Is it the same stuff?

I've got a tube in the garage, looks the same as red rubber grease and is ok on suspension forks which use elastomer's.

Well if you look at the weldtite web site it says nothing about it being suitable for use on hydraulic systems. just a link to apply for a data sheet. Without sight of the suppliers data sheet I would say don't touch with a barge pole.

That's expensive. Never had a problem getting the large tub of Red Rubber grease...then again, haven't bought any in donkey years

Anyhoos, if you do fancy some to do your brakes, until you source a tub(about £5.99 usually) PM me your addy and I'd stick some in the post for you tomorow


Cheers
Ben

Got my tub from them too. I predict it will last me about 10 years, which is about what the last tub lasted.
