Does anyone know of a good supplier for high temp silicone grease?

I tried repco and they offered me some PBR rubber grease and said thats what everyone uses
I have been told that the rubber grease is no good......
Opinions please.

Try a dive shop as silicone grease is used on scuba equipment

i have been useing rubber grease on all my brake rebuilds in both car and bike for over 15 yrs
and have never had a prob so this is a 1st for me but you could well be right
but after you flushed and cleaned then buffed all metal parts and cleaned rubbers a smear of rubber grease makes them feel like new
any other ideas allways open to better way when tring 2 stoping my arse getting fucked up
well at least to rod back and well lol

if you go into supercheap and head up the back to the spareparts counter where there is a dumb idiot that doent know anytthing

you will find a box with a variety of small single use sachets of different things for about $2 a pop

stuff like anti sieze , copper grease, loctite and grease for brake caliper slides

iirc its the loctite brand of products

Lithium grease is the go as it will not liqify with heat.

I've used 'brake rebuild silicone liquid' for the past few years. It works really well. It comes in a small bottle (about 200ml). I got it from Auto 1. You only need a few drops - the tiny bottle I've got will probably last me a lifetime.

Any bearing shop should have it if they are any good that is. We stock it and sell heaps. The local brake guy buys a bit of it
