The last is this picture:



Looks like a simple grease fitting, but it's more than that. My swinger bushings were bad - instead of going with stock bushings from BMI, I looked into bronze instead. The stock bushings are 30mm diameter by 1.5" long, so I went with a 1"od, .5"id, 1.5" long bronze bushing. I filled the original metal sleeve in the Bushing with JB weld, and used a 1" hole saw to bore out the original rubber bushing (so there was about 4.6mm of rubber bushing left in the swinger sleeve).

I had to drill the frame mount holes for a 1/2" bolt, cross drilled the bronze for a grease port, drilled the swinger for a zerk fitting, blah blah blah..... but after its all said and done I have bronze bushings in the swinger pivot with a grease fitting.
