Headlight motors

[kev]

I'm in the process of rebuilding my headlight motors on my 66, my question is what type of grease should I use ?

Thank you

Don't know if I was correct but I just used regular grease.. Not saying that is correct but just what I used.. No problems yet... Dave..

I used white waterproof grease. I didn't want to use something that would get thick when it got cold.

Kev,
Not sure if you saw the post I submitted here at CAC on 4-1-04 1:29 called 63-67 Headlight motor rebuild. But a great site for rebuilding is: http://65corvette.nonethewiser.net/technical/Headlight_Motor_Rebuild.pdf

However, they don't say which type of grease to use. So, I can't answer your question, but I just wanted to pass this info to you, hope you can use it....

The OEM lube was "Lubriplate" (the white stuff).
