1993 Samurai U.J. grease-nipples.

Can anyone assist with this one? I have just discovered that none of the U.J.s on my Samurai's drive-shafts have grease nipples fitted although the threaded facility for doing so exists. I have tried using nipples from a couple of redundant Citroen 2CV drive-shafts but they're too big and, looking at a couple of web-sites, there seems to be a lot of choice! Can anyone tell me exactly what sized nipples I should buy? Thanks.

They will be aftermarket UJs, standard UJs are 100%sealed and don't have the option to insert a nipple.
Do they say what make they are on them anywhere? That will help you narrow down the size they need.

I have some aftermarket props in my shed that have very small 90° grease nipples in them.
I would just get the smallest you can with matching thread.
