Galling
Thanks Ed.
Thats something I knew nothing about.
I actually thought that a stainless steel bolt would be less likely to rust into a steel thread and a brass pin but galling would obviously be a more serious problem than that.
Have heaps of different lubricants about and was intending to give it a light greasing with something like a lithium grease but after doing a bit of research as you suggest a specialist anti galling lubricant would be better.
The two that I have narrowed it down to are Tef-Gel and Lanocote which is basically a lanolin wax.
Both are relatively expensive (Tef Gel $30 for 10gr) but some have suggested Lanocote can be bought more cheaply from a chemist as Anhydrous Lanolin, which is used as a facial wax. If so, probably the first time I would have found something cheaper at the chemist.
I'll check around.
