Looking for a supplier of the above that actually has stock! I need the straight version. There are several suppliers that have the 90 degree version.

Alternatively has anyone got one for coin of the realm?

Very tight access so I can't fit a larger version (no room). I don't know if the drive fit version could be threaded, but worth a try if all else fails.

Thanks,

Andrew.

2 BA oilers seem to be even rarer!

The Gits Company is still in business in Iowa USA. A link to them is below. They may be able to give you a contact for a UK based distributor, or sell you a few pieces of a current production oiler (probably not BA or BSF threads) that could be adapted. A simple turned brass adapter with whatever thread is needed at one end, and a suitable socket for a current production oiler to be presed in or Loctited in would be easy to do. I'd say that would be a better use of your time chasing BA or other threads on oilers that may not have been made for decades or at least really hard to find. It is after all just an oiler. If the replacements for an old machine are not a 100 % match, who really cares?
