Default Re: Grease nipples.

If I am correct, the original 32 tapered grease fittings did not have a spring and check ball in them - whereas modern Zerc fittings all have a spring and check ball. I'm not around my 32 CAB at the moment, so I can't check - though I believe this to be true?

Unless you really care about originality and looks, I'd run the modern Zercs - as they prevent grease from pushing back out of the fitting.
