Grease nipples
 

http://www.tractiontalkforum.com/pic...ictureid=29850 For. Sentinel trailer restoration
10 sentinel style screw on grease nipples
Or a supplier of them
Even an odd one or two would help cheers Martinhttp://www.tractiontalkforum.com/pic...ictureid=29851 http://www.tractiontalkforum.com/pic...ictureid=29849

Can anybody suggest a readily available alternative
Something not too modern in appearance?
Are the hexagonal slide on type still made?any ideas as to suppliers?
Cheers martin

The hexagonal slide on type are readily available. "Bearing man" is where I get them from. All of the motion and wheels on Moonraker have them fitted.

Arial.

Ive 2 on what is either a Dyson, or Sentinel trailer axle I have under the Fowler as a slave.

Personally I'd get some made. Someone set up with CNC will turn a ruck up. I bet you would be able to sell them to other Sentinel owners.

The problem you will have with the slide on Hex ones is the thread is far smaller. You will need to turn up some adaptors in anycase.

Thanks for that
I can't Rob you of those two then?
The nipples screw into a 1\4 BSP hole in chassis
Seen some on bearing man site not to modern looking
Cheers martin

The same type of grease nipples as your original ones with 7/8" thread for the grease gun are used on Garrett wagons as well. If you manage to find a source of new ones please let me know.

The Hex slide on type were available in Brass but a hard to find now, I fitted my Carrimore with a full set, the original Carrimore fitting was the same type but with a larger hex that I could not get a fitting for. The brass hex type may be available from an ex Mod engineering supplier. Try Colin Blackwell at BB Engineering Supplies 07976 539675 or McGowan Engineering 01527 893358
