Fred and All: I totally agree with the technical aspect of wire contact with the bushing, and with swelling or resizing the felt with alcohol and water. Further, I always lubricate the bushing lightly with prolube or TFL-50 dry applied to the wire in position. Paul In a message dated 11/21/2009 5:25:40 P.M.

And a quick way to lubricate an existing system is, with action out of cavity, press the pedal down and run a paint brush loaded with prolube along the wires above the guiderail. The lubricant will go into the felt as well as coat the wires. I think it is a good idea always to have lubricant in the guiderail bushing system.
