Picture Galleries > Building a Rolling Chassis. > Fitting an Armstrong Oiler.

Here one of the Armstrong Oilers, specially made for us is being squeezed into place.  It has been soaking in thick oil for three months and is being squeezed into place using two thin strips of ply as guides.  This applies oil to the underside of the axle.  In the background the dust shield that fits in a slot in the back of the axlebox can be seen.  This stops dirt and grit getting into the bearing.
