Can anyone provide me with a scan of the diagram of the Bijur Chassis Lubrication System.
For some unexplainable reason I do not have one in my Technical Manual nor in my Instruction Book!!

Steve,

Pages 3&4 are missing from my Green Book, whether I took it out this year or last I do not know, happily (?) it has caused the clearing of my deep litter desk.

So I decided to print off the wiring diagram to complete the never ending Derby kit car, after another year with all sorts of old tat, and I saw this one.

You will know what it is all about when you have had to build one up!

The manual suggests that a 20/50 oil is to be used in the Bijur Chassis Lube system. I thought it was something a little heavier can anyone help with the correct weight of oil please?

Advice from Ristes on Lubricant for Bijur

"The oil you should use in the one shot is EP80, every 200miles one press to charge the system and one press to lubricate regards"

Is that what other folk use?

The initial recommendation of SAE 20 grade was for a pump in new condition.

The actual pump works on the return stroke; pushing the pedal compresses the strong activating spring, which does the work on the return stroke.
This is why it is referred to as the "One Shot",( but there is no reason not to give it another).
Originally the pedal took up to 5 minutes to do its job and return to the rest position.

You can use any oil that gets to the back shackles and gives a bit of resitance. I put EP 80/90 oil in most things, engines and chip pans excluded.
