    I have just picked up a M997A2 and have some questions. But first let me tell you the condition. It is a non runner so I have no idea if it runs.

    What exactly is this on the + bus terminal? Silicone?

    What exactly is this on the + bus terminal? Silicone?

    A lot of Dow Corning has Mil spec stuff... 738 is white from what I have read... I would take a guess and think they would use 732 on the terminals. It's " multi purpose". Dow makes good stuff so any would work...
