Hi All, a quick question...

I am about to start putting the suspension back together on my mk1 MX5. It'll will be having all new OE bushes, and in many cases, new bolts.

However, I want to ensure that in the future, it comes back apart as easily as possible (although not accidentally when driving of course!).

I want to use some kind of anti-seize, particularly where bolts pass through bush inner housings and hub bores etc. So my question is what should I use? I have copper slip, but this sounds rather abrasive. What would be better?

Also, I would like to use anti-seize on as many fixings as possible on the car. This should not be an issue with body fixings etc, but seems unwise on brake and suspension bolts. Is there any product that would be suitable for this application, or is it best to just leave them?

Cheers for all the info. Most of the bolts on the suspension etc don't use nylocs. Hence wanting to be very careful about what I put on the threads!

In terms of the bushes, a little silicon grease sounds good. I think I may even have some already!
