GREAT site which I am on everyday I'm working on my RZ resto. All the information is invaluable to me and must be to hundreds of others. On what grease to use.....I would use red rubber grease for the one pin that has the o-ring on it. Also, when I dismantled my calipers one came apart without the o-ring and I could not source them anywhere....I think I came up with a sensible alternative to the OEM component. I purchased a box of #83 o-rings from the plumbing section in Home Depot. 1/2" OD, 5/16 ID x 3/32 CS (cross section). They contain Butadiene which is an oil resistant rubber, nevertheless I only used a little red rubber grease. I put 2 o-rings on which satisfied the middle groove around the circumference. For the perpendicular slot that is there to let out air, I heated up a small square edged file and with the o-rings installed, I lay it lightly at right angles and melted a shallow slot. Works a treat. With a bit of the rr grease in there it slides back and forth smoothly and you can hear the air hiss out. This'll work if I strike out getting something better.

Thanks Hudwerks2011. I clicked on your website. It looks very comprehensive and I will head back there when I have some time to look at it in more detail.
