N.sch.2565 - I do not like the coiled tube.

Could we not put the oil pressure direct on to this pin (front end of rear spring), then take a connection off the spring eye in the centre.

True the pin may be overoiled, but the spare could go into the gaiter. Anyway a good fitting pin ought not to leak much.

This oiling scheme will be in time become simpler.
