Correct 45 degree fitting for stearing head

Hello,

I have been searching at various auto, fastener, and hardware stores for the right 45 degree zerk fitting for the stearing head, but have been unsuccessful. From what I can tell from the stock straight part it looks to be a 3/16" fitting. Can anyone confirm the size and know a source for getting one? Thank you for the help.
 
1/4-28 If I remember correctly. Although for some reason I thought some had found it to be metric. Got mine at the local auto parts store. Take the old one with you. You should be able to match it up.

1/4 -28 is correct, they are tapper d like self tapping threads:s
 
I picked mine at work. I used a 90 degree and it worked fine. I did have to disassemble the fitting to fit it in the tight space, then reassemble when I had it oriented correctly.
 
Thank you all for the quick replies. Will give it a shot over the weekend and let you know how I make out.
 
If you are not sure take a 1/2 hrs. ride over to my shop. I have plenty of 1/4-28 90* grease fittings and 45* fittings and can give you a hand.
 
Thanks Crusierbob I was beginning to think I was the only one using the coupling.
