So I’m changing the worn out out donuts on the rear torsion beam Question To talcum powder or leave clean ?
The Bentley manual calls for talcum powder so I went for that on both my aircooleds and they've been fine. Just don't grease them!
A good clean, then a light dusting with talc. Choice of fragrance is yours With fresh donuts, you might need a couple of longer bolts to initially pull the spring plate covers on.
And if you get the ones with hundreds and thousands on, brush them off first, or they grate for weeks.
Would this be suitable https://www.fortnumandmason.com/lad...FGzDmQKrmt_C_sVP8VMaAi9eEALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds
The technical data sheet states that "Royal Extract Dusting Silk is talc-free and naturally absorbent." so it might not be performant. It does however come in a fabulous jar so must be worth a punt.
I’m going with rear swing arm donuts… Speaking of nuts, a friend of mine gives his a daily dusting of spearmint talc. I suspect one errant shake could give him a nasty shock.
