Subject: Re: Chassis lubrication fitting wanted
Thanks for everyone chipping in.
I am almost 99.9% certain that this is the original part and that there is indeed a restrictor or non-return valve fitted to it. It is much earlier than the one-shot drip feed fitting that David kindly sent the link for.
Like Laurence, I hated the idea of filthy oil from the sump being pushed through these pipes so, when I restored mine, decided to blank off the sump outlet and instead use the jacking system oil reservoir to feed the chassis lubrication pump. (Not quite as simple as it sounds but that's another story.)
Photos attached.
