MGA steering column felt seals

["Rick deOlazarra" <cattail@redshift.com>]

 There're 2 cylinder-shaped felt seals in the steering column that need
replacement, and correct procedure specifies that they be soaked in graphite
oil prior to fitting. Graphite oil is hard to locate; it may not be
available anymore in small quantities at retail to the general public. It's
the impression I'm getting.
 Anyone out there suggest an appropriate substitute?
