Front hub oil hole

The front hub on my 42 Rambler has a small hole for oil but no plug in it. The rear hub has a huge plug and I has wondering if it is missing or didn’t come with a front one. Thanks!

Hi Wayne,

The original pedals (either Philips or CCM) would have had 1/2" X 20 threads. Tefront hub should be a "Falcon" made by CCM. The hole is an oil hole and the hub would have come with a spring clip that fit over the centre of the hub and had a small dimple that fit into the oil hole.

Thanks John. Would that part still be available somewhere?

Hi Wayne,

I sent you one in the package with the Rambler headbadge. They are not that common since CCM got rid of the oil hole on the Falcon hub in either late 1942 or 1943.

Thank you!
