Hi, I have just been round my recently bought 1950 Comet with a grease gun and have found what seems to be quite a few additional grease nipples above those mentioned in the literature. One is on the underside of the FF3 lower link and is clearly intended to feed the front pivots. When I applied the grease gun however I noticed a thin curtain of grease being ejected from the leading edge of the FF3 link, not from a single point like a drilled hole
but in a line runnning about half the width of the link, located centrally. See the attached pictures, the first of which uses a mirror to try and show the source of the "curtain". I cannot get a direct line of sight to the front of the link, but am worried that I may have a crack there. Is this a known issue, is there a machined slot there, are the front forks about to fall off, any other thoughts?
Many thanks, Nick
