One more thought on BC Week. When I am out driving my A, people point and
wave but most won't walk up and take a look. I guess they are too used to
Corvettes with motion sensor alarms. However, on Sunday when we had 30+
LBC's lined up people felt much less intimidated and would drive slowly by
or stop and ask questions. A guess that they thought that, because it was
a group, they weren't intruding. Moral of the story? If you are going to
start a group function, do it in a place that allows easy public access and
you will get others involved. We were in a strip mall parking lot.
Aron,
When I oil my rack, I use a cheap cartridge grease gun that uses the small
cartridges. I have saved an empty grease cartridge and, when oiling is
needed, I insert the empty cartridge into the gun and fill it with the
amout of oil I need. I then pump the leftover grease into one of my used
oil containers (recycling is a good thing) until oil flows freely. Oil
away. Don't store the grease gun in this condition because the oil will
run out over time. I used to get a lot more practice with this method
oiling the trunnions on my Tri**ph.
If you want to buy an actual oil gun, you won't find one at a parts dealer.
Check a machinist's supply house since they are used to oil the ways on
mills. I would expect that they would be pricey. A grease gun designed to
work without a cartridge may work but they went out with bell bottoms if
not before.
Regards,
Bill Eastman
