Default RE: Stuffing tube lube nipples...

Hi WhiteWolf McBride,

If you have access to at least half the diameter of the stuffing tube, you could make your own out of brass tube.

The pictures show a lube tube on the propshaft in my fast electric; a half pipe, fitting around the stuffing tube has a 4mm brass tube soldered onto it, the 4mm tube is drilled through and the whole thing is glued with epoxy onto the stuffing tube.
A plastic cap keeps the grease in.

Regards, Jan.
