Now re assembled with copper slip anti seize compound.
Nice! But copper?
Copper based anti-seize paste is what they have on the shelves round here. I
have a tub of something based on a silvery colour metal, but I generally buy
more Copperslip when it gets used up.
molybdenum is a "friction modifier" - I had to do the clamp bolt up
seriously tight with just the copper stuff on it.
