This thread is primarily for those who have fitted the wolf performance remote grease system, but others may be able to assist.
I've bought this system, and the fittings look of real quality. The question I have, regards the below fitting that replaces the bottom nipple. The screw thread looks different to the thread on the nipple. It looks much longer than the original nipple and I'm wondering if this will matter, as in, will it screw in too far and press against the King pins. Can anyone advise please? Thanks

Same here with no issues, and I have the same car as you. I bought the original kit with no-swivel nipples, and had exactly the same worry as you, because those nipples had longer threads than the originals. So I contacted Cain at Wolf, who informed me that in spite of the longer threads they would not interfere with the king pin, it was measured out to be all right. However, the no-swivel nipples vere of no use as they got in conflict with the damper blade bracket. Looking for a solution, I stumbled upon the swivel nipples. They had the same thread length as the kit nipples, so I supposed they would go in without problems - which they did. Later on I informed Cain, gave him the name of the manufacturer, part number etc. He subsequently incorporated them in the modified kit. So you will be fine with your swivel nipples. And I had the pleasure of contributing a little to the Morgan world....

And Craig, how on earth do you manage to keep your car so immaculately clean??? I have never seen the like, much impressed. A gem should be cherished, you certainly do. But how?

I have the swivel nipples & no issue. I would post a picture but would be ashamed of the mess vs Craig's car.

I have to work every day, and only having the weekends to enjoy the Morgan (on dry days  ) so lack of use during the week maybe? ...........I bought it clean so its easy to keep it clean. ![[Linked Image]](https://tm-img.com/images/2021/11/24/Photo-26-04-2020-17-48-58.jpg)

Not all heroes wear capes. The swivels are a great invention.

HaHa, Ive seen Craigs in the flesh, it is immaculate all over, and he was gentleman enough to compliment my daily 8 with its (fine) scratches, friction and wind wear. Happy to see you're managing to maintain the scrupulousness Craig! Leroy, Im sure Wolf have supplied perfect fitment parts. My swivel joints dont impede anything- I think you may need to be wary if fitting a.n.other nipples and fitments as I believe the thread insert lengths can cause issues for the ill informed.
