Early racks did have an oiler fitting that looked like a grease fitting, =

greased not oiled, said to be for 'life'.  Not 'filled' as such, only =
1/3rd Imperial pint, 0.19 litres or 0.39 US pint, it's almost impossible =
to keep the oil in them anyway.  Cable ties may not be concourse but are =
perfectly acceptable for normal use ... and they don't rust.
