<DIV>The fitting was intended for future fill-ups with oil; the plan had been to
put one boot on the used rack, stand it up on end, and fill it full of 90W140
gear oil then put the other boot on. We will take Moss’s word that the new
rack is ‘greased for life’!</DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=2>Early racks did have an oiler fitting that looked like a
grease fitting, the majority didn't. Replacement racks these days tend to
come ready greased not oiled, said to be for 'life'. Not 'filled' as such,
only 1/3rd Imperial pint, 0.19 litres or 0.39 US pint, it's almost impossible to
keep the oil in them anyway. Cable ties may not be concourse but are
perfectly acceptable for normal use ... and they don't rust.</FONT></DIV>
