Subject: Re: Chassis lubrication fitting wanted
Bill/Colin,
Thanks very much for replying. The threaded compression fitting has an insert that looks to be a non-return valve or metering restriction. I'm guessing it's to control the amount of oil that gets pushed in and to make sure it stays there. I have a feeling it's the same as on RR's and Bentley's of the period so was going to send the broken part to Fiennes to see if they've got them in stock. They certainly have the 'one-shot' fittings.
Colin, I don't need any pipe but I'll post a photo if Fiennes can't help. It's all sealed up in the envelope now. I presume the pipe is 5/32" brass tube. Is that correct?
