daverclasper Posted July 24, 2019 Report Share Posted July 24, 2019 (edited) Hi. These look a lot smaller than usual. The shortened prop was fitted, as part of a J Type O/D conversion on Vitesse, around 2003 by Canley. Is this the usual size for generic prop and prop U/J please?. Thanks, Dave Edited July 24, 2019 by daverclasper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Lewis Posted July 24, 2019 Report Share Posted July 24, 2019 to my grey matter the nipple end is a std size , or no grease /oil gun would latch on unless you do have something out the ordinary maybe .................Dougs other site has more clues Pete 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daverclasper Posted July 27, 2019 Author Report Share Posted July 27, 2019 Cheers Pete. I'm also assuming the nipple is standard. it's the threaded end. A pretty small/narrow blanking grub screw, with for an Allen key on the U/J and a grease nipple on the prop, sliding joint (which I have been able to grease) which has the corresponding narrow thread shank. I want to ideally, buy a couple of the same size nipples to make up an extended nipple, as the grease gun wont get into the U/J. Will phone Canley, as it appears they supplied the prop.They might shed some light?. Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Lewis Posted July 27, 2019 Report Share Posted July 27, 2019 it can be a fiddle to get long ones to start , thee are sites that just sell all sorts , but yes the nipple stays std, the lengths and threads and diameters can vary a lot between trunions and UJ cross pins Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
