Hello My Friends
First off thank you for the compliments. The lubricators have two cylinders and thus two feeds, and yes they work quite well. I have several out there in service although in Nathan DV7 bodies. I designed the mechanism to fit both the DV7 and Detroit casting set. As stated before the pump main body is made of aluminum bronze, the oscillating cylinders are 932 bronze. The crank shaft, crank, and cylinder pivot screws are hardened steel. The pistons are stainless steel with viton O ring packings. There is a functioning sight glass and there are banjo fittings with 1/8" model pipe threads out the back that can be rotated as desired. You can see the banjo fittings in the view of the back. There is also a removable crank handle for manually operating the lubricator. The sixteen outlets out the top are dummies and are drilled for .046 rod to simulate 3/8" oil lines. Counting little screws, #1-72, and #0-80 studs, nuts, bolts, castings, ball bearings, roller clutches, .015" cotter pins, name plates, and machined bits, there is over 200 parts in the lubricator. I have sharpened my pencil and am working up a price. I will probably have a special deal for pre production orders. I am also getting a quote from a friend with a CNC machine shop for some of the pieces. That is why I don't have a price yet. Also if you want to put your own lubricator together Brad sells the body castings. I hope to produce some DV7 lubricators in the future. The DV7 is a much simpler lubricator and will cost considerably less. As soon as I come up with a price I will post it in the for sale section.
