else - that one does not 'fill it full' of oil, no more than the
quantities listed below, or you will burst the gaiters. And it should be
differential oil, i.e. GL5, not gear oil GL4.</FONT></DIV>

<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>
