I am rebuilding the rear differential on my 30 Tudor following Les Andrews' book and instructions from Tom Endy. So far so good.

Everything is apart and cleaned up. Bearings and races have been replaced. I am up to the point where I need to work on the ring gear pattern and backlash.

Les says to use "bluing or white lead" to the ring gear to check gear tooth pattern. I looked on Synders and Bratton's websites and do not see either of these items.

Where can I get the bluing or white lead??

Thanks for your help, Mark
