silicon oil

[SteveJ]

I have been trying to find the silicon oil Dave suggests to use..200 fluid/100 cst. Can anyone let me know where I can get some. The only oil I find is used for rc car shocks.

Thanks

Shock oil is okay. It comes in a vast variety of consistencies though. Personally, I just use silicone grease for all my seals, and i use the Servisol brand. One tube lasts for donkey's years.

I get my silicon oil from Alumilite. Caswell Inc. is an Alumilite distributor, by the way.

David,

I looked on the Alumilite and Caswell sites and didnt see the oil listed. I guess it would be a special order??

Thats what I got from Walleyworld. I could see the tube lasting longer then that...LOL.

Silicone Brake-fluid (dot-5 automotive type) works great.

I found a gallon jug of high viscosity type at a local electronics surplus sale. It's enough to last me 3 life times. :D
