Hey Sharpie!
Same as that matey peeps, mahoosive great tin of Red Rubber grease 500gms/1.1lbs weight and £17 to buy, brilliant stuff for calipers and any place that is adjacent to rubber as it does not perish rubber like mineral grease does, plus its impervious to water.
I bought it for lubing the slider pins on the caliper brakes of my hairdressers car (MR2 Mk3), does not rot the gaiters.
I used it lubing up the lower rear suspension linkages and needle roller bearings when i did my suspension upgrade a month or two back, as its not affected by water the ideal lube in this very wet and vulnerable environment.
I have often thought about things like carb balancing gauges, quite expensive to buy and its something you only use once in a while maybe once every year or two.
That reminds me I still have not done mine bought the gauges 4 months ago and still in the box in my shed
A FOC-U Lending Library of stuff that everyone does not need to buy, but could be borrowed on the understanding its looked after and returned promptly when finished with. The cost to the borrower would be postage both ways, not sure how it could work or how one would set that up.
The problem I have found in the past with loaning stuff out is people either forget to return it or they lend it to someone else and it is now longer traceable.
But it is a thought.
The only thing I would not lend is my torque wrench after seeing a YouTube clip a few years ago of a guy knocking a clevis pin in on car handbrake linkage with his torque wrench :eek :'(
