Scroll to the bottom of the page for a pic of their lube gun.
Drawback is that, as far as I could tell, their lubricants aren't
appropriate for our cars, but the only tube that fits the gun is one of
theirs (i.e. Special Lubricant 101). I bought the lube and emptied it into
my waste oil container. Then I cut the bottom off of the tube, filled it
with GL4, folded over the open end and clipped it with a clothespin (you DO
remember clothespins, don't you?). Screw the other end into the gun and
you're all set.
Works very well, flex rubber hose with grease fitting, no leaks (well, it IS
a Triumph, but the GUN was fine!). As I recall, about $10 for the gun, $3 or
so for the lube I threw out.
