Everyone mechanics favourite subject ...Nipples!!!
Yes the world of grease nipples! Now would you believe that there are several types of nipple which were used at this time period!!!? No nor did we!
Nor did we realise how hard it would be to get some. Dad had a phone conversation with Amanda at Jeep parts (yes that was a plug!) who I must say have been brilliant so far with helping us bumble through this project (well me anyway, Dad seem very clued up on the subject now). The issue is when dad explained what the nipples looked like at the end of the leaf springs (Not sure of the exact name for this part). Jeep parts seemed to think that this nipple was not put on the Jeep. We however know differently, as they are on ours all the way round!
This means we either have:
- A miscommunication with Jeep parts
- Our Jeep is one of a kind and will be worth millions
or
- It is another bodge by someone!!!
Take your pick!
So simple solution. Take photo's, email Jeep parts and go from there. Here are the photo's I sent across.
We are waiting on a reply (very exciting!!!) :)
