UJ grease nipple

[jeff m]

Does anybody have an old UJ from a 280 laying about?
I need a grease nipple, (two would be great)
I'm in the US so it would involve a trip to the Post Office for mailing, or you could mail to my brother in Barnstaple. I will of course pay costs with a UK check.

I tried to buy a selection of grease nipples here to get one to fit, the two main auto house chains don't carry them!

No probs Jeff

Have you tried a thread gauge? Bought one a fews years ago. Very handy. Sort of a swiss army knife affair that does all sorts.

They are a quarter inch and 28 tpi.
The little stupy ones do not fit, you need the longer ones so the socket doesn't get pushed off before it's tight.
