My '67 BJ8, 'despatched' in Nov. 1966 has the second (green) type.
It had 64K miles when I bought it and, besides a couple paint jobs
was all original as far as I could tell.<br>

<div>
<p>Sintered phosphor bronze is porous and should be soaked in oil
before use. Usually a lightweight oil is used. Place the spigot
bearing in a small container with oil making sure the spigot is
fully covered, heat the container "au bain marie" in e.g. a large
sauce pan for obvious safety reasons to near boiling point of the
water and keep it there for a while so most air can escape (air
will expend during heating up) from the porous material. Then let
it all cool down to ambient temperature. The oil will then have
penetrated in the spigot bearing replacing the air in de phosphor
bronze.<br>
