A LTHOUGH there is a number of 1-1, motor-vehicle users which either employs, or knows of, the Flexi LubriCover, there must still be many who are unacquainted with this useful device: It is a flexible rubber cover which, in its various forms, is applicable to valve gear, the exposed parts of the steering mechanism, plugs, tappets and to many other sections of the chassis.
The purpose of the device is to ensure the adequate lubrication of the working parts of motor vehicles and to prevent excessive wear owing to the abrasive effects of grit, whilst it is claimed that Flexi Luhri-Covers may be left unattended for at least a season. They should prove to be particularly useful in connection with tractors and especially with those that are employed for B34 agricultural purposes, and which have to work on bad surfaces.
One of the several commendable features of this device is that it prevents the T-T.T. lead from becoming disconnected from its terminal. The covers, which are fitted to the products of several of the leading motor manufacturers, are obtainable from the maker, Desmo, Ltd., of Desmo House, Stafford Street, Birmingham, at the following prices :-A set of four, from 12s. 6d., and 2s. each for Flexi plug covers.
We are informed that, on some or all of the following vehicles, Maxi Lubri-Covers will be fitted :-Leyland, Daimler C.F.6 chassis, Thornycroft, A.E.C. and S.D. Freighter. These devices will, of course, be employed only on some of the chassis components.
