I had also planned to give these PTFE wipers a whirl. They attach to the lower stub tubes above the bottom spring in an attempt to keep the muck out.

One day perhaps….

Roger, very interesting. I am aware of the Vesconite alternative, but know of no one that has used it exept Button, who no longer seems to be active on this forum. Permit me some questions: why did you plan on Veconite instead of oversize bronze bushings? Convenience? Price? Hoping for even less friction?
And can you give me the dimensions og the Vesconites (if they are still in your posession...) Outer/inner diameter (metric, please...) and length?
Finally, where can you get these? (I have seen their website, just wondering if there is a retailer)?
I am tempted to go dowm that route myself, when the day comes.
