There are 2 on my 35mkII grease cups i mean for the rudder post. I had one corrode away beyond removal as a whole so i cleaned up the residue with a drill lightly used and a tap a got 2 new grease cups from moyer marine. They sell the cups for the pump on the A4 at a considerable cost but made me feel good. I fixed it.
