Part of the Week: Shimano Lubricator Oil Port (part 3210400 or 101)

This week's part of the week is the elusive lubricator oil port (part # 3210400 or 101) that is on older Shimano 3 speed hubs. They attach in the middle or the hub shell in small hole and allow someone to squirt clean oil in them. Many of the old hubs I come across are missing the oil port or an intact one is usually damaged. The original white plastic Shimano one is shown in the photo below. I just got ten of them in New Old Stock condition, and last time I had a few I I sold out in two days... so if you need one, hit my eBay account (planetarypedalworks) now! These can probably be used on some other hubs if needed.

Part of the Week: Fichtel & Sachs Indicator Toggle Chain

The week's part of the week is really the part that got me started with this small part nonsense. The Fichtel & Sachs indicator (toggle) chains are hard to come by in the US, but there are a lot of the Sachs hubs floating out there that need them during restoration projects. As far as I know, they come in three lengths:

1 short one for the traditional 3 speed torpedo hubs
1 medium one for the 3x7 hubs
1 long one that is specific for the pentastport (5 speed hubs - and I believe it additionally uses a short one, as the 5 speed hubs use two chains)

If you have any info on this, let me know! Below is the photo of the short Sachs indicator chain.
