Wow. lol, didn't expect all the requests! Its no problem, I can whip up however many needed. I'll find out how much they are after getting the zerks, o-rings, and metal and turn up a bunch tomorrow. I don't expect it to be very much, maybe $5 shipped for a fitting.

Have you guys been shipping the fitting around in one of those yellow air bubble envelopes?

Edit: I went back and found the thread. It's farther back than I thought, 2007. Here's the drawing, but remember, the thread doesn't need to be for a metric Zerk, and the O-ring groove is completely unnecessary.

Pop, are all the measurements on the drawing correct? No changes were needed after those dimensions? Is the 90* zerk better/needed or are the strait zerks fine?

Snow, I hope you're kidding about the "few" part. There have been quite a few new members that have become regulars now in the 7.3L forum (where Marv and the zerk he created became famous) since the last run of these were done, plus there are those regular members who missed out on the last two manufacturing runs (like me), so ya know if you start making them, you're gonna have to do more than just a few.

Not trying to discourage you, I'm just saying....

I know you can do it though. You really came through with the Kentucky plant window stickers.

Yeah I don't mind and its no problem. I like helping out fellow ford enthusiast! I don't charge to make a profit with the stickers but I think I will go for $1 each over actual cost for the fittings just to cover electricity, bits, tap, etc. Expect some pics of new fittings today!

Time and effort are worth something, plus owning the equipment and making purchases of raw material, IMO charge whatever you need. If I had the equipment I would do it as well to help everyone out.

From one EX owner to another.... THANK YOU.

What he said - just bought my 2000 Ex Limited and am going through the laundry list of things that need to get done/updated/improved.

I fear that it's too late for me....

I picked up a nasty, loud squealing from my right front hub area yeasterday AM.... It's intermittent, and changes with wheel speed but I think it may be a smoked hub/bearing.

I jacked the front end up and checked for play. It seams tight still, but spins much harder then the driver's side. Also slows and comes to stop much faster than the driver's side.

I hope that zerk finds me SOOoooOOOnn....
