My car is for all intents and purposes an older restoration. Soooo I have a mish mash of zerks and I believe the original alamite fittings. One day I will get them all the same. Todays big question is that I have one that has fallen out. I bought a package of "modern" zerks and they are still a bit too small for the hole. Do I mic the hole and get a bigger size. And does one use a bottom tap to cut new threads. I can probably beg, borrow or steal and original But what if the hole has been drilled bigger. Would JB hold it???
