Bishops Cam

[LuckyFloridaLin@aol.com]

Dear Lords&Ladies; Their is a Grease Fitting on my Bishop's Cam. What type of grease should I use? Or, should I fill it with some other fluid. I am a little wary of this Cam -so many PROS and CONTRAS about this mechanisim that it causes confusion for many, especially me. Getting TC #6744 aka" Prince Valiant "ready for the maiden voyage up to St Augustine on 20-22 April for the GOF. Looking forward to meeting some of our helpful (Carl )and illustrious( Larry) associates. Tally Ho! Thom Collins

Gear oil goes into this location. The heavier the better. Should you have a Ford Model T/Model A store nearby, they sell 600W gear oil. Recommended by Al Moss for this application. Of course, you could then supply all other TC owners in the state, with what you don't use.

If you've installed a lip seal at the bottom of the sector shaft, you can use 600 wt oil available from them or also from any Model A ford shop. Terry
