The '58 Plus Four I'm restoring is missing all it's self oiling system pipes.
My first Mog, an early '58 bustle back Plus Four, (purchased as a wreck
when I was a young lad of 18 in 1964) was also missing it's self-oiling pipes
In their place, a couple of zerk fittings were located to allow the sliding
pillars to be greased. I later found a set of pipes on a Morgan in a junk
yard (Mogs were actually junked in those days), which I installed on my Mog.
My recollection is they made rather a mess, with gobs of oil all over the
front suspension. What's the collective wisdom regarding self-oiling
systems? Should I purchase the pipes and reinstall the system, or is there a
better way to oil the sliding pillars? What's your experience, Mog owners?
