    Great looking work there, looks fab, personally I’d avoid copper slip on bolts etc after having spent many hours beating 40mm+ pins out of hydraulic rams. Often having to gas cut the ram eye in half/off to release the pin, and there always is the remains of copperslip the manufacturer used, actually eaten into the steel and behaving like it’d been brazed in. Electrolytic reaction I believe it’s called.
    Plain bearing grease every time .
    My old foreman used to swear by copperslip, using it on HGV clutch splines and such, despite us having to hard scrape the stuff off when replacing a clutch. This went on for a few years until I showed him the bit of paper in the box the clutch comes in , you know, the bit of paper nobody reads😆 , well on there from Lockheed it clearly stated “ no metallic type greases on the clutch splines “. His face was a picture, all be it an incredibly red one 😂😂😅
    White grease on splines etc. A lot of drum brakes use white grease/ptfe grease for everything sliding.
