[QUOTE="Vipersan, post: 902304, member: 325666"] Ok ..bit the bullet and shifted Christina over to 58W .. The reason I had been putting this off ...as expected the grease in the actuator being almost fully expelled .. The new postion using the linear ESX was logged into the Vboxes ...and a blindscan performed to see how many TV channels were lockable with the dual feed as it currently is.. answer ..a good number..300 Ok how to avoid having to refill the jack with grease every time I go west ... Hmm .. How about threaded metal garden watering nipples ... I found some 4mm ones on ebay 10 for £3 so ordered some.. I'm hoping to thread the drain hole in the actuator and fit one of these .. They have a barbed end to which I hope to fit a short length of rubber tube ..and another nipple on a reservoir of grease ...such that during the Eastward stroke it will autofill by suction assuming enough is ceated....and pushed back into the reservoir during the Westward stroke.. I may have to add a little oil to thin the grease. This may not work at all ...but hey .. nothing ventured etc etc ..If nothing else it should make grease top ups easier ;) [/QUOTE]
