Any one know what the thread size is for the readius arm grease nipple on an 86 Mayfair. Is it 1/4 UNC or 1/4 UNF ?
Many thanks

Small grease fittings (Zerks) are typically 1/4 UNF. The next size up is typically 1/8 NPT.

I always thought they were a pipe thread, i.e. 1/8" BSP but a quick search and it looks like they are 1/4" UNF
