Lately i have spotted bumper overiders and the bumper sections [SS1] with RUST underneath,closer inspection confirms that folk are not oiling the inside of the bumper blades. As for the overiders there is a little black plastic plug that is removed for oiling,many are missing altogether but not that important unless entered in concours. I wonder how many are judges check them! The best way is to spray with old sump oil but WD 40 will help.  | ||

Pat, please, could you upload a bit wider pic for seing the location of this close up one? Sorry for this, but sometimes my english makes me me to be lost. About the oiling works, i finally bought a grease gun, but i am not sure of wich nipples to use for greasing. Anyone has a pic of the exact place to use it? I see some bronze (or some yellow metal)nuts , have them need to be removed for reaching the niples? | ||

Miguel/yo recurrirá al español. Los enchufes en los jinetes excesivos son en la tapa en el más cercano lateral el cuerpo del coche. Son triangulares en forma y un pedacito más grande que su clavo del pulgar. Su cuidado debe tener entrerroscas planas de la grasa. Éstos se hacen de de cobre amarillo y de hexagonal en forma y tienen un agujero pequeño en el centro de ellos con una bola por resorte que empuja de dentro para guardar la suciedad hacia fuera. Pueden ser atornillados hacia fuera para limpiarlos. Necesitan un adaptador especial conseguir la grasa en la cual debe estar disponible de tiendas auto de las piezas. Si usted necesita los cuadros me dejan saber. Miguel/ I will resort to Spanish. The plugs in the over riders are at the top on the side nearest the body of the car. They are triangular in shape and a bit larger than your thumb nail. Your care should have flat grease nipples. These are made of brass and hexagonal in shape and have a small hole in the centre of them with a spring loaded ball pushing from within to keep the dirt out. They can be screwed out to clean them. They do need a special adapter to get the grease in which should be available from auto parts shops. If you need pictures let me know. | ||

Thanks you two. I come across Shadows quite often which have had standard grease nipples fitted. The first time I asked for the ones supplied by RR and was astounded at the mark up something like 8 times. Needless to say out local tractyor shop was quickly comminssioned to get a stock in for me. | ||

Anyone of these adapters for flat top greasers would be the right one?    The one shown in your pics looks to be the articuled one (pic 3..)but would be anyone of them right? I do not have any adapter, my grease gun just has a hard a a soft tubes...so I had to order the adapters. As emergency work, would be right just unscrew the niples and refill to normal pressure qith grease and screw them again, , or it will be like nothing? Thanks again. |
