[TowerTalk] Thrust bearing re-grease

[Drax Felton]

This one is labeled as  "Falnir LCJ   1-15/16"    New Britain, Conn."

 

I need to locate a ring to clamp the mast to the thrust bearing. The
original is missing.

Any ideas on where to find one?

 

As far as re-greasing it.  I figured it out.  While taking a closer
inspection I found it has screw tap in it for a grease fitting.  I'm not
going to need to pull it.
