While replacing my turn signal I noticed some old dried grease on both sides of the horn contacts. What should I replace it with? Does it need to be conductive?

@Shivers - did this eliminate the grinding noise that i get when turning the wheel and the lube of the day has worn off?
I'm looking for something long-lasting that keeps the rubbing/griding noise of the horn contacts at bay. |

I'm looking for something long-lasting that keeps the rubbing/griding noise of the horn contacts at bay. I do not know yet, all my 72 stuff is going into Howard but I have to get Howard ready first. I'm shaking it Boss. I suspect it will. At least for a while. It may end up as part of my maintenance. The grease said it could handle extreme conditions, I figure if I replace the old fabric braided fuel lines I should be ok. From the internet: "Hzutloer Copper Conductive Grease is physically and thermally "tough" under extreme conditions, as it is rated to withstand high temperatures up to 1,100 °C (2,012 °F). It uses copper powder to maintain conductivity while resisting rust, corrosion, and arcing on metal contact surfaces." |
