<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>

not greased — they should filled with oil. Many people make the mistake of
assuming a zerk fitting implies the use of grease gun, but that is not the
case.</BLOCKQUOTE></BODY></HTML>
