Handbrake Lubricator Assembly

[Arthur McKenna]

Dear List, I am searching for two lubricator assemblies for the hand brake (Moss #181-920) on my TC. It seems that when I had some restoration done sometime ago, the restorer cut off the grease fitting midway along the copper tubing, and evidently discarded the brackets and fitting. MOSS now charges $29.95 per set (at least since 2001). In the previous year they charged $17.30!! That's a hefty % increase!, especially when you consider what the "assembly" consists of. When you need two of these (ca $60.00 plus shipping !!) seems a bit pricey for what you get! So far, I could only find a reduction to $26.38, which appears to be only a discount on Moss's price rather than a cost-plus type of pricing. Are there any more reasonable prices from other vendors. Perhaps, there are even functional 2nd hand assemblies available from those of you out there who are less price sensitive and have already replaced their old assemblies with new ones.
