    I'm replacing the rubber grommets in the cups at the back of the pedal
    (where the rods rest in the pedal) with leather - brand new, fresh, clean
    leather.  VJ lube, Teflon powder, TFL 50, nothing?  What would you all use
    for a lubricant here??


  Greetings, 
      I have had no problems with rubbing stick graphite into the leather before cutting to fit, and then dipping the pedal rod ends in Teflon before I drop them in the hole.  It seems to be as durable as anything I have tried.
