Hi Graham Good to see you on Saturday. —- unfortunately like ships in the night once again.
Greasing. We fitted remote greasers (as recommended by Ian ) and pp gaiters from Concourse Dave. Seem to work really well as long as Pauline is still nimble enough to twist her neck underneath and watch out for the grease in between services. Once a year we put her (the Morgan that is ) on the ramp and work clean grease through the pillars. It doesn’t help me run Prescott any quicker - but it makes me feel good 😂😂😂

And you Steve.
Not quite as busy as I expected (though the fist train from CRC was packed).
Put a note in another thread in Morgan Arms.

Robbie,

I didn't use the one shot oiler for a long time, the problem occurred with the piping becoming brittle and starting to leak. You do want to have a leak in the system before the foot switch as it is under pressure and loss of oil could be catastrophic. As I was not using the system I simply removed the pipe to the foot switch, relocated the oil pressure sender to the oil filter housing and eliminated the issue.

Of course in the post above I should have said "You do NOT want to .........."

Britmog, well explained.

I saw ..and used ..the One Shot system this week on a 4/4 I was looking at. It seemed v v simple. And worked v well for the owner. The King Pins have just been replaced after 40,000 miles!
