If anyone has a contact for Lockheed, I would be interested in it. I'm
NOT looking for a parts distributor.
Maybe this already came up on this list, but a source for Red grease
is H.D. Rogers & Sons.

Eight or nine years ago I found new Girling brake and clutch MCs for my
Cobra sitting on a shelf at a local race shop (Frey Racing, Mountain
View, CA). They even had Red grease for ~$11 a tube, though the tubes
were pretty big. Rogers' price is $3.50/tube, but I don't know the
size- probably one of those dinky tubes Girling used to put in their
kits.
When I was at Frey Racing a few months back there where still a couple
Girling MCs on the shelf, but I don't know what they were for. They
obviously hadn't re-stocked since I'd bought mine. I think they are
just leaving them out until they are sold off. I beleive the price was
even the same as what I paid for mine- $60. No Red grease this time,
though.
