Re: Yellow topped relay sierra origin fuse box

Have you read what's on the tube?

Beaten to it!

Caution!

Re: Yellow topped relay sierra origin fuse box

So that’s still white for waterproof and red for rubber / hydraulic parts then?

Just found this. Contradicts what's on tube.

^ That is the sheet I read, in French, after visiting a factors in brest , the assistant who when challenged on the suitability he phoned someone, said to be the TRW rep who verified its new status as a replacement for red grease. When I got home I checked, and found the above sheet - the French version.
I rebuilt the master cylinder last night using the remnants of a tube of red rubber grease, more than enough to complete reassembly. It will be installed today and recommissioned.
I suppose you now pays yer money and makes yer choice!!

Re: Yellow topped relay sierra origin fuse box

It always pays to check and double check when selecting oils, lubricants and greases to see what their compatibility with the materials they are likely to come into contact with. I learned that the hard way, many yeas ago, as an mechanical engineering apprentice.

There are numerous brands out there, and general comments on different colours for different uses.

Useless to me, I am colourblind so I always read what it says on the tin, even if my boss told me otherwise.

But its not in a tin, a plastic tube!! ; - D)

I presume then that you bought some, what are you going to use it for? I presume you are going to follow what’s on the sheet and what’s on the plastic tube?
I notice that the instruction sheet above, it does not mention a temperature range. People do not necessarily think just how hot a calliper can get, certainly over 200°C. Any grease used must be able to survive repeated heat cycles.

My Red Rubber Grease is in a tin, it has instructions on it that I follow.

I went environmentally conscious a few years ago. I prefer to be plastic free.

Re: Yellow topped relay sierra origin fuse box

Ok yes purchased.
It was to refurb the master cylinder, but that was achieved using the remnant red grease and Dot 4 brake fluid, which, also if the PFG110 had been used would not have been a problem as the temperature developed would be nowhere near 220'C albeit the exhaust manifold is underneath!
Ref acquisition of PFG102 - nigh on impossible here in Finistere and other areas of France, loathed to order from the UK as delivery can be over 2 weeks in transit. And the environmentally sustainable aspect, if the stuff is only available in plastic tubes then that has to work - don't know what life is like in Spain, never been, but France is something else from an environmental point of view!

Re: Yellow topped relay sierra origin fuse box

brilliant thanks, now gotta decide that and my existing speedo or a complete electronic job!

Re: Yellow topped relay sierra origin fuse box

I recently fitted a set of ETB instruments...I used a Revotec electronic adaptor for the Type 9 to drive the speedo, which seems to work well...bit of a tight fit in the Roadster tunnel though...needed a cutout to accommodate it..!

Re: Yellow topped relay sierra origin fuse box

I used ETB instruments as well. I put their provided pick-up (2 magnets and a sensor) on a bracket i made mounted on the diff with the magnets on the propshaft flange
