Grease nipples- two types - AllAlloyCup - 24-04-2019
Hi folks
I see the A7Workshop lists two types of threads
On their nipples ,1/8” and 5/16”
Are both types to be found on 1928
Axles and other parts?, steering box, draglink etc
Torque tube mounting?
Some are BSf and others BSp ,
what’s the criteria that governs how they are used?
Regards
Bill G

Your car will most likely use the 1/8 BSP ones Bill - I think the other type are use on Girling stub axles.

Thanks Ruairidh...I’m changing all the nipples to the
Snap on type to fit the Wanner grease gun bought with my first ever
Pay packet from MCLays Garage, when I was a student.
A Very long established Morris MG franchise, friend of Wm Morris.
Their parts store was full of prewar spares! I got a new Gold Seal
Morris 8 sidevalve engine for £10! At the same time Tom
Was building his first Brooklands in his conservatory....
