I personally think that it's a graphite impregnated fibre of some sort. When you rub your finger over one, it leaves a residue similar to that of a pencil. Which lead (no pun intended..) me to the graphite idea. We still use graphite bushings today, so could be a viable theory?

Someone else will know for sure.

Great job on the restoration by the way.

Today I finished off the LHR bogie station some NOS parts , Took 80 tons on the press plus heat to remove pivot pin for the bogie arm after 70 or so years . All's factory fresh now . Tomorrow road wheel to go on then refit back onto carrier , this means all my running gear is spot on ..

I'm after some photos of the metal conduit layout showing where it comes through the fire wall down past the side of the air scoop over the cross shaft and along the engine rail if someone can help . Dale

Big thanks to Peter for these detail photos and letting me post them here on the MLU might help others as well . Now I can get my head around the layout . The last two photos shows where it changes from 1" to 3/4 " Dale

Dale,
just be aware that that conduit layout is from a late production BGC, the earlier production (at least VR) BGC conduit is slightly different.

For example:
Rear section of conduit to rear lights does not have the T piece at the end
T piece from dash to centre bulkhead is 3/4" all the way (your pic steps up to 1")
The rear conduit, on some late BGC, goes through a purpose hole in the rear bulkhead and not out the rectangular hole for air flow above diff pinion.

I'm sure there are other differences, but good pics all the same.
