Holyman Posted December 6, 2004 Report Share Posted December 6, 2004 I finally got a new round carrier and I want a rust proof grease fitting for it. Does anyone know where I can get stainless grease fittings? Ideally I'd like to get straight, 3/16", press in fittings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SICK BOY Posted December 6, 2004 Report Share Posted December 6, 2004 I'd check with a machine shop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blk02banshee Posted December 6, 2004 Report Share Posted December 6, 2004 I don't think I've ever seen a rusted grease fitting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
broke Posted December 6, 2004 Report Share Posted December 6, 2004 I have seen them rust, but it really is only surface rust. I can understand if you just want them to look better, but it really doesn't affect how they work. On our big equipment at work we don't even bother changing them until we shear them off.

nater006 Posted December 6, 2004 Report Share Posted December 6, 2004 Just keep a thin coat of grease on it... actually, i think most auto stores carry them but they may not be stainless come to think of it. mine are all just the basic cheapies and have never rusted.

fixitrod Posted December 6, 2004 Report Share Posted December 6, 2004 I though they were aluminum anyway but maybe I'm wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ledofthezep Posted December 6, 2004 Report Share Posted December 6, 2004 I though they were aluminum anyway but maybe I'm wrong. 289597[/snapback] Same here. I would imagine your local parts store could hook you up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holyman Posted December 6, 2004 Author Report Share Posted December 6, 2004 I think they use them in saltwater marine applications. I just hate plated steel. Besides I'm going to modify the carrier so I can grease it from the sprocket side where the adjuster holes are instead of the center.
