Removing Brampton forks

[A-BCD]

grease nipple for front lower spindle and front upper spindle can be seen here. The nipple for the rear lower spindle is opposite the front one, facing rearwards. The rear upper spindle nipple is between the handlebar clamp and the headstem nut. You just have to be careful not to apply excessive grease\!!

Amazing how things progress backwards. My 1932 Sunbeam has girder forks and the spindles have grease nipples on the ends and there is a small cross drilling so that the grease gets to the bushes from there.Why was this idea never used on Bramptons?..John

Good idea, it seems these Bramptons could be cross drilled on the lower spindles as their diameter would easily accommodate this.
The Vincent Brampton upper spindles are smaller, however only one needs help as the other is lubed thru existing speedometer mount holes, might be better to drill casting.
