I just had my alternator rebuilt and the owner and I were talking about the problems we have at times with the electrical connections in a Lucas system. He told me that there used to be a product made in Canada, mainly for the military, where a drop on a connector would virtually eliminate any resistance in the joint. Anyone ever hear of this product? I use a di-electric grease, but he said this stuff is better. Do they still make it? If so, where can it be bought? PJ
 
"CopperShield" p'raps? It's a conductive lubricant... but I'd stick with the dielectric grease, myself. Too much chance the conductive stuff would leech/migrate to ground or another contact.

JMO.
 
It is/was a clear, thin liquid that cost more than gold. But it worked.

I used to use it on computer chip sockets before they started soldering the chips directly to the board.

Sorry, don't remember it's name or manufacturer.

Didn't know that Doc, (conductive lubricant). I'll stick with the di-electric grease for now. Had to check on it. Curiosity you know!

Thanks also Don. At the price of gold these days, di-electric is a little cheaper.

CRC 2-26 is really good too, depending on the specific application
