    Old fashioned oil cans.

    Does anyone know of anywhere that sells the old style oil cans with rigid spouts similar to the ones made by these people here: Lubrication Equipments - Lubricating Equipments, Grease Guns, Hand Rotary Pumps, Leaver Oil Pumps, Grease Nipples

    I keep finding similar oil cans but they all have the flexible plastic spouts not the rigid ones I'm after. Either brand new or second hand would be good! I've tried Bunnings, Supercheap, eBay and the like with no success.

    Oh, before asking this I did a quick search on the forum but as you can imagine, doing a search with the word 'oil' in it on a Land Rover forum produces many hundreds of results most of which are coupled with the word 'leak'

    I assume that you mean like the smaller one on the left, not hard to come by, you just change the nozzle over, the ones I buy come with both the flexy neck and the solid one.

    Yeah, that's right. But where do you get them from?

    Marathon Spares......the place which sells world war two jeep parts sells eagle brand oil cans which are the old fashion sort which you turn up side down and pop the bottom off the can over centre to feed the oil out.
    It also comes with a metal spring loaded bracket to hold it on to the fire wall of the engine bay.

    I bought one for $10 from Trade Tools. Came with both the solid and the flexible outlet.
