Qu1ckn1ck Posted August 1, 2018 Report Share Posted August 1, 2018 Whilst my GT6 Mk3 is having it's annual service and inspection we noticed that the nearside rear trunnion had a grease nipple fitted whereas the offside had no nipple or even drilling for a nipple . Can anyone advise which is correct for a 1971 Rotoflex GT6 Mk3, please ? The offside trunnion bushes also look very suspect so I will probably have these replaced pdq.

dave.vitesse Posted August 1, 2018 Report Share Posted August 1, 2018 Not standard. I would say its been put there to stop the long bolt from rusting in, which can be a problem when you rebuild the Rotoflex set-up. Its doubtful it would lubricate the trunnions. I always use copper grease on the bolt when re-assembling. Dave 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colin Lindsay Posted August 1, 2018 Report Share Posted August 1, 2018 Not sure I'd support the chassis on the lift by using the front outriggers like that.... I made an extension / bridging bar for my lift which reaches the main rails just in case... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete Pete, It had been noticed. I didn't want a posse of vigilantes chasing me as the suspected car thief! Nick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KevinR Posted August 1, 2018 Report Share Posted August 1, 2018 The grease nipple is an addition - well worth doing - to stop the bolt from rusting in place. It's also possible to drill and tap the lower wishbone to add grease nipples as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
