[Rhodes22-list] Help with motor mount

[Lowe, Rob]

Cary,
I don't believe grease on the tracks would be a good idea.  Any grease would attract and hold dirt, which will just add to the wear.  I think a spray lubricant such as Sailcoat would be the most you would want to use. - Rob

Thanks Ric. You mentioned, from your survey, that we had the same mount.
The pictures would be really great. If you could give me the
dimensions that would put me in business.

While I am at it, I have one more question for those on da List. Does
anyone have experience with silicone dielectric grease as lubricant on a
track. I am thinking of  the rails of the motor lift.
