small Hauser oilers

[Jon HolmesParticipant @jonholmes92873]

A newly acquired Hauser milling machine is missing the two oiler assemblies on the headstock. Before I either drill out and re thread M8 x 1 or make a new extender as in photo to take a M8 oiler:

1. Does anyone know of a source of any M7 x 1.0 oilers?

2. a source for M8 oiler similar to those in image?

Thanks, Jon

Google "The Nipple Shop" (yes really is the name) a specialist lubrication sundries supplier. They may have what you need, phone if not listed on web page.

Thanks Chris. Not much online there and phone call is international for me (Aus).

However, I may have found a simple possibility – motorcycle brake bleed nipples (seem common in M7 x 1.0)

The only thing I came across that was M7x1 in the past was lambretta scooter cable adjusters.

My friend needed one tapping out and what was even more surprising was that I actually had a tap to lend him.

Thanks Phil.

Now that I have found the automotive link, M7 is used a "fair" bit – brake nipples, rocker arm adjustment, Vespa scooter bolts, etc

I too have m7 taps (and possibly a die) but not necessarily the time I would take for a small fitting!

I think a modified brake nipple is first choice (especially as I leave the Hauser "intact&quot
