    Considering softening the airsporter leather seal with olive oil to save having to buy a bottle of neatsfoot, as I'm a Yorkshireman & that neatsfoot is at least a tenner.
    Yep, nice and easy on the preload on the '50, Paul.

    Never tried olive oil on leather seals. Hopefully okay? "Back in the day" we'd use some silicone oil, but modern thinking would be to avoid for metal-to-metal. However, if you have it and it's pressed out well, maybe okay?

    P.S....Just seen the later posts and the offer from Mike with the neatsfoot. Fine offer and top plan.
