Javelin stub axle greasing

Post by paul wilks »

Now here's another problem and I hope someone can help me out! Having received my stub axle/swivel pin assembly and having inspected it I see that the 'L' shaped grease nipple which greases the bottom bushes at the lowest point is missing! The thread is a larger diameter than the other grease nipples and I have spares for those but not a spare for that lowest greasing point!

Can anyone help please?

Thanks

Paul

Hi Paul,

Try http://www.vintagemotorspares.com/ or http://www.namrick.co.uk/ - You can use BSF bolts to find the correct thread size before ordering.

I have now had this grease nipple measured and am told the thread is 1/8in BSP , a pipe thread.

Has anyone come across this before because I am no engineer? :lol:
I had expected a BSF thread but is BSP the same as BSF?

Thanks
