Who is currently carrying the fittings for the chassis lube system? I need lots of pieces for my MMMs!

Well I have a couple of the one way adjustable fittings on the way from S&V at the moment. I bought one of the 3 way ones for the brake X-shaft from them about a year ago Why not try Jamie?

While on the subject, Barry Walker produced an excellent guide many decades ago about the way in which the internal needle valves of these connecting unions should be adjusted to give the appropriate oil flow

I believe the people at Bicester airfield who bought out BWs business recently carry them.

And you can get the 5/32" brass tubing from Alaskan Copper & Brass 48 feet will be about $150.

I dug deep and found this chart from BW from around 1975. Somewhere or other (perhaps on an old Infoletter?) I recall seeing needle valve settings for the various unions to ensure the right oil flow for the particular area of the chassis. Anyone recall that?

It has been brought to my attention that Barry Walker has got his parts business back-up and running again for almost 2 years now as Blue Diamond at Bicester have dropped supply of MG parts. Sorry for the confusion in my earlier post.
