Kluber are the best lubricant co going ive been using their high temp anti seize for years up to 1200c! got loads of special industrial
stuff which i use on me car, it pays to be the Engineering Manager :laugh:

What is the base metal of their anti seize paste?

And do they use any UK based stockists?

i will visit a few places tomorrow and see what i can come up with.  would 8.8 be ok ?  surly if i did them up tight its not going to go and fall out is it?

cheers.
Its not so much about falling out as breaking. 8.8 hasn't got the strength for the force required to hold brake calipers on.

VW can supply you new ones, and you won't still own the car by the time they have rusted out.

Orbic will post anywhere in uk i use em for everything even wheel bearings and belts for the car.

dont buy kluber from em though that i buy through their uk agent.
I know they use colloidal graphite in there high temp stuff along with sodium and sulphides i think, defo not good to smell makes you cough when you paint it on somthing red hot!! nothing will stick to it even molten magnesium!. :evil:
They also do solvent sprays dry lubes (Molibdenum disulphides)
Synthetic of all the above, oh and wicked anti rust.
