Have you tried the new Drafts feature yet? I just lost a long message today and learned my lesson. It is a good idea to save a draft of any long post you are writing. You can then just keep writing and keep saving a draft, knowing you have a backup if there is a glitch. The draft is automatically deleted when you post the message.

SOLD thanks



I assume this is one of the parts described in this thread: https://www.douglasmotorcycles.net/index.php?topic=9203 The thread at the lower end is 1/2-20 BSCy.

It screws into the top of a 2 3/4 gearbox (not sure if it's 2 or 3 speed; not sure if they're the same), I think to clear the frame so you can add semi fluid grease well clear of the frame lug.

Has some surface rust, but threads and hexagons good and ready to screw into the gearbox of your original TS.

I have thrown it into my box to go to the Bendigo Swap Meet this weekend. $A20 + postage (or collect at Bendigo).

My CW has a similar fitting, but with a larger screw on top to make pouring in semi fluid grease a bit less mucky ( in theory)!

Hi Alan,

Ah yes... that's a screw-down grease cup. You fill the cup-shaped lid with grease, refit it, and as you screw it down grease is forced into the tube. Inside there is usually a spring steel clicker that engages in a series of detents, to calibrate the screwing down process and to stop the lid from unscrewing.

I've also seen OB-style grease nipples (Tecalemit, I think) fitted at the top so you can use a grease gun - very modern, except you need a special slide-on fitting for your grease gun.

Cheers

Leon
