    How does the oiler 'gun' look like and where to buy it?

    Hello everyone

    I use one like this with the pointed end, some of my greasers are just brass tubes. Or for oil just find a pump bottle you can stick a piece of tubing on.

    This one is on Amazon

      Thanks Brian. That't very informative.

      There is a ball mechanism in the nipple. Does it need a lot of pressure applied on it for the oil to flow down?

      The ball look like a sealing mechanism on the nipple and looks like it needs a lot on pressure applied...... I may be wrong.....

      Thanks

        The needle should still work with that fitting they are actually made for flush type fittings, the standard couple in the picture should fit as well. These are for grease, for oil use the pump and fuel tubing it doesn't take much to press the ball.

          Many thanks.

          I'm building a semi scale Apache hull with twin drive and that is very helpful.

          Cheers.
