On our early 28aa I noticed that the grease fittings are not correct. When we had it restored I guess they put them in any hole that they would fit. I ordered a set . Now I need to know which fitting goes in which whole
Thanks Billy
 
Billy,

Maybe Neil Wilson in the Model AA Ford Club can give you some great advice and maybe a chart showing all the zerk fittings on your Model AA Ford.

The front end would be perty much like the Model A's as far as zerk placement...but when you get past the transmission...it is all different.

Did you get the special tool for the small threadless zerks so you can pound them in without ruining them?

Pluck
 
the straight, drive in type are the most common. The threaded hex type go in the threaded holes in the drag link and one goes in the U joint housing. The 45 degree angle/hex type go in the upper spindle ( king pin to some) bearing housing, facing forward. The threaded 45 degree type with rounded shoulders go in the shock links, which you do not find on most AA's. I'm not sure about a 28 AA, some of which had the car front axle. The remaining spots take the drive in, straight type. Sometimes you will find these holes have been tapped, especially in the repro spring shackles. You can get sleeves to thread in that will accept the drive in fittings from many A suppliers.

complete and accurate details are found in the Restoration Guidelines and Judging Standards
