I'm going to overhaul the front brakes on my 1997 Miata. I have a book from the prior owner called "Miata Enthusiasts Shop Manual" and it states that only a "copper-based" brake grease should be used on the pilot pins and other parts. Does anyone know where this (or substitute) can be found? In the past I've generally used a lithium-based product on American cars.

I have always used a high-temp silicone based lube, like Sil Glyde at NAPA.
