Happy New Year to all of you...I am starting off my new year with a very
minor problem that I hope one of you guys out there in netland can help me
solve. I am working on a 1934 Singer Le Mans and currently doing the
front end on it. The front ball joints have grease fittings on them but 2
of them are missing, one is broken off so I need some new ones. I can't
find new ones ! They are 5/16 BSW threads, that is 18 Threads Per Inch,
not the standard 22TPI that BSF would have. Anyone know where I can get
such a thing in the U.S. ? I have tried all my usual sources and I can't
even find 5/16BSF ones although I bought some from the Singer Owners Club
in the UK a few years ago so I know the BSF ones are available there. I
tried Moss and as usual was no help unless I knew the Moss part number, I
also tried my old standby "British Tools and Fasteners" and they didn't
have it either.
Like I said in the beginning it is minor little problem, its apart so I
don't have to worry about metal shavings and can tap it out to fit 8mm
fittings or weld up the hole and drill/tap for a standard 1/4 fitting, but
I am lazy and if I can find the right ones to just screw into it, I would
prefer it.
Thanks...
