I'm rebuilding a Marcos and don't have any details on choice of oils and greases for the different assemblies. Anyone have a typical lubrication chart? Thanks.

I used to have one and can't ever remember seeing such a thing, or even a workshop manual or wiring diagram come to that.

So what age is the Marcos ? If it's from the 60s and therefore Triumph/Ford based you can just use the recommendations based on the OEM component fitment. For example Triumph Herald/Spitfire front suspension/hubs and Ford rear axle/differential ?

Lubrication charts and parts catalogues dont generally include low volume cars like Marcos, as has already been said check the vehicle the running gear originally came from, For,Volvo etc.
