[Tigers] Possible solution to servo issue - Grease

[Gary Winblad]

Hi Roland,
Vacuum Seal Lubricant used to come in the servo rebuild kit.
The problem I had was it was mostly dried up and they didn't provide
nearly enough.
It seemed to be some kind of black graphite grease and what's important
is that it doesn't attack the leather seal, and maybe the foam (plastic?)
seal tensioner(?).
Some modern available substitute WOULD probably be the holy grail...
But too, just doing away with the servo and going to a tandem master
is looking pretty promising...    Or go dual cylinders like a Cobra!!  Of
course that takes a real man to push the extra effort  required   ;-)

An update to my earlier post.

I was pretty sure I still had a some of the red grease stashed away 
somewhere in my garage, so I took a look and found what looked like three 
identical little packets of this stuff.  But on closer inspection, one was 
different.  Two were labeled Lucas Rubber Grease (red) and one was labeled 
Lockheed Vacuum Seal Lubricant.  Perhaps the Lockheed lubricant would be 
appropriate for the brake servo?

I don't know why I had the Lockheed stuff, since I don't have a brake servo. 
I'm guessing it was either mixed in with the Lucas rubber grease or I 
grabbed it by accident.
