Nice as always!!!
"Your mission if you wish to accept it" is to do something similar for Front Suspension as I am totally bamboozalled.. as you know I have a 2002 4/4 and can only find a single grease nipple on the flipping thing...am I missing something? Try this link http://www.gomog.com/allmorgan9.html#DynamicsThe grease nipples face forward so when jacked up and on axle stands you should be able to see them. Dave, I took a pictire today to show this but my cars is covered in crud. Do you clean yours underneath as well? John Miine also has a grease nipple at the top of the king pin instead of the one shot oiler, you can see this by putting the front wheels on max lock & looking into the top of the wheel arch.

John - I don't go mad underneath but give it a wipe down now & again. Sad eh? Old habits die hard.

Dave, you have angled grease nipples there on the sliding pillar. On mine (2004 built 4/4) they are straight, and almost obstructed by the damper - if I had mounted the AVOs with the adjuster like yours, there would be no way to get a grease gun on without removing the damper. Perhaps I should change the nipples sometime.
Also I don't have a nipple on the top of the spring.

Nigel - do you only have one nipple each side??
When my stubs were changed to the later spec, the bill included nipples. I don't know what the original spec was.

Yes, I can only find one nipple - on the front surface of the stub axle body, and it faces forward.
