Thanks, chaps, you have cheered me up no end, and she is visiting Potton tonite! That finishes that topic, so on with T chat. My original TC, TC 1730 which is now TA0448, but with 1730`s body, had handbrake oilers on it when I bought it in 1962, but they gradually parted company as interests of lightening came into being as my racing aspirations increased so I haven`t a clue how they fitted. However I have long experience with grouped nipples- oh, blimey, were back on that-! on my TB. The pipes are very narrow, and however short, should never be greased. Always use 140 oil in any oiler system, even the short TC one. Have a nice day, or night as this is World wide. Paddy.

Grease tends to harden after a bit of time, and then you can't force more into the fitting. I used penetrating oil to clear out the clogged pipes in the TB.

Paddy:
I have been using Castrol synthetic grease in the hand brake oilers for the past three years. With no problems to date. Any thoughts on that?
