Re: [HSS] Spring shackles lub points?

Unknown

Rich, the big problem with the oil cups is that they continue to wick the

oil out even when the car is not moving, so you in effect lubricate the

garage floor if you keep these cups filled. They changed over to grease

lubrication in 1929, and its a simple job to change all the oil cups for

modern grease nipples.
