Ford Model A modification - Improved lubrication of the emergency brake (attach additional lubrication nipples)

The emergency brake toggle lever has originally no grease fitting. The same is with the toggle lever at the emergency brake handle. I supported them both with grease fittings.

I have drilled a 4mm hole into the axle. In the middle of the axle I drilled a second hole which goes from outside until the center of the axle and let the grease come out. At the position where the grease fitting is mounted, I have enlarged the hole until I could press in the fitting. Be careful when you press in the fittings, you should use a special tool for that, otherwise you'll destroy them when you are using just a hammer.

These parts are new, since the old ones were completely destroyed by rust.
