Well German ebay came up trumps, now if only i hadnt stripped the rest of it down...
humming a and hawing over the grease most of the week, its not as clear cut as i thought. Apparently bentonite being clay based is totally incompatible with lithium or the like which is soap based, so everything would need to be spotless before swapping.
Plus the fact it must be in there for a reason? so after reading far too much into it, including the conspiracy therorys that say the bentonite is there to grind down the gearbox so it blows up after a few years... i just ordered some genuine peerless grease from good old Salem Indiana (Cinderford England) not cheap but its kind of an important bit.
Not much else has happened, got the engine and gearbox off of the frame and thats about it, time is lacking!
Might get some of it stripped degunked and primed today, cant have this one lingering too long
