---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment Mark, Would it be possible to somehow glue a thin piece of buckskin to the wood? That might be a longer term fix, if possible. I've made a concoction of Protek, vaseline, and teflon powder that is probably quite similar to what Paul uses. It works well in places where pressing and chafing are causing noises.

I'd be cautious about drilling larger holes, because you don't want the rod just flopping around. It is making that sound because there's side pressure there, and it needs to hold the rod in position to push on the trap lever. Lubing the rod seems to work, but how long it will last I don't know. I'll be curious to hear other's responses.
