Brian, a quick question for you.... Were you discussing the unique quality of the grease nipples on the fire tender at one stage? Namely that they had a flat top instead of a 'nipple' profile, and that the grease gun connection would have to slide onto it? I've had a look through this topic but can't find any mention. That said, if you are looking for such a connection, I found one today in my toolbox in a pile of old sawdust.  _________________  Chris O'Keefe R43136 Ex WO Chippy 19th MOBI Intake July 65 to July 85 HMAS Nirimba X 4 -Penguin-Sydney-Queenborough - Creswell - Moreton - Stalwart - Platypus - Coonawarra Reconstruction Team 76 - Platypus - Hobart - Cerberus - FHQ - Coonawarra.

Steve, it's been some years since my old 1965 Mobi's toolbox has been opened, therefore the sawdust must be quite old.  And as far as I'm concerned.
