Default Where to find LPS 2

I'd rather not order by mail for just one can of lubricant. Does anyone know of a chain store like Home Depot, AutoZone etc. that carries LPS 2? I ran out and I'm lubing the control linkages as part of the condition inspection.

I was able to find either LPS 1 or 2 by finding the nearest airport with a parts shop (in my case it was a Lane Aviation). I doubt you'll find it at a car parts store...

By looking at Yahoo maps, it looks like Elburn is pretty close to either Aurora or Du Page...do either of those places have a parts shop on the field? If so, that would probably be a good bet.

Sorry I can't be of more help

Default LPS-2 in any hardware store

You'll find LPS-2 in any descent stocked hardware store, including HD or Lowes

Default Harbor Freght

Saw it at Harbor Freight the other day. Kinda surprised me but their aviation isle seems to be growing along with the microstop countersinks and countersink bits and clecko pliers.
