I never replaced the turret oil in the NA. I did over fill it when topping it up....which I thought I needed to do but, in retrospect, didn't need to do. If you can see some oil in there it's all OK.

Why did you ask the question if you already had your own answer?

I changed my shift bush over to a new brass one over the weekend (shift much better now), but buggered if I could get the gearknob off, both top and bottom boots are split and knackered and need to be replaced - what's the story, am I just too wimpy?


Where do you get a brass one from?
