AW oil cap

[Daddybus]

I'm struggling to source an oil filler cap for a 1968 AW hub. The hole it fits into is round & around 4mm.

I do have a plastic caps from an 81 & an 85 hub but they both fit into a' hexagon' shaped holes & don't appear to fit the earlier one...
Anyone seen any for sale? Are they plastic or metal?

Oh btw I also have a 47 3speed dynohub that is also missing the cap (its not currently on a bike) but it would be nice to get one for that too just in case I ever get to use it.

Cheers DB

Ask http://oldbiketrader.co.uk/display_Sturmey_Archer.php?options=gear if it's one of those listed there?

Ooh... They list 2 hub shell oil nipples, one black push in, one white threaded. The hexagon type one I've tried is black so hopefully the white one should be the fella... £6.50 tho

I could get some for you. Next time I have some hubs with them on I can take them off and sell them to you.

I have some hubs with them on right now but I have already listed them on ebay

I've got the same problem, the oiler is missing from my 1970 Chopper rear hub & I tried to fit a later one without success either.

Gaffer tape for the time being then ...

And oiling it through the indicator rod hole like us post-1980s plebs?
