G’day, I am fortunate in that the Mk 9 seat in my Jaguar cockpit is semi functional and the electric raise/lower mechanism works. I am just wondering what part of the seat, if any, requires lubrication and what I should use. At the moment I put the occasional couple of drops of light oil on the silver runners between the headbox and seat pan but is there anything else?
Over to the ejection seat experts.

Moving parts such as those (eg seat raise/lower guides and ejection gun rails) would generally be greased but only during scheduled seat maintenance, or fitting, as applicable – it’s not a frequent maintenance task. Other components would have their own lubrication requirements but, again, only during scheduled maintenance.
