Subject: Pietenpol-List: Source for brass grease cupsHi Guys,I have found a source for the really cool brass grease cups that are used (for decoration) on the Ken Perkin's style hubs for the spoked wheels. To mysurprise, there was Bob's Antique Auto Parts right across town in Loves Park IL. _www.bobsantiqueautoparts.com_ (http://www.bobsantiqueautoparts.com) . They are a very large store and warehouse that specializes in Model T parts. The part number for the brass grease cups is T-2545-B.These are real nice and a perfect fit for the hubs. You will have to drill/tap for the tapered pipe thread size 1/8" -27 threads per inch. You donot have to actually put grease in the cups if you use the oilight bronze bearings.Dan HelsperPoplar Grove, IL.________________________________________________________________________________Date: Tue, 15 Aug 2006 10:12:16 -0700 (PDT)
