I'm reviving this old Triax polar mount.
View attachment 106321 View attachment 106322 View attachment 106323
The mount swivels on a set of plastic bushings.
(Nylon, probably. Reminds me of roller-skate wheels.)
View attachment 106324
I'm trying to figure out two things:
a) how to treat the ageing plastic parts so they become weather resistant
b) how to lubricate the mechanism properly going forward
So the first question is:
What to do to the plastic bushing...
Polar mount plastic bushings: What moves?
