I agree that only UNF grease nipples were used on 100s except perhaps 
the odd very early one.

As I said in my previous email 1" long versions are too short because 
the side cheeks of the mounting assembly do not then allow a standard 
'lock on' grease gun fitting to attach. A tapered version that does not 
clip over but relies on the pushing pressure to stay in contact will 
work but these often leak.

Also on the spiral bevel rear axle, BN1 front suspension and steering 
and part of the rear suspension.
