Sulphur apparently Eat's Bronze !
I'm sure someone will jump in and get the exact designation, but using "EP"
type 90 gear oil (or the type that contains Sulphur) will eat the bronze
(Brass) components such as synchronizers and spacers. The recommendation I
understand for "MUTTs" is to use Lubriplate brand to quiet them down and
preserve them best. (no, I haven't used it, nor sell it.) My Model TT Truck
though has a huge solid Bronze Worm gear which would supposedly dissolve
over time if I used it.
Look at the Forum for MUTT's on www.G503.com for further clarification.
ALSO the Mercedes rear ends are being inserted by guys in IRAN, whom
cannot obtain replacement parts from US for their hobby vehicles. (or F14
Tomcats....;o) ) Seems to work well for them. Sorry don't have their web
page, but again, ask on www.g503.com in the forums section on 151's.
