Thanks all for the information a. New felt seal on order

Location: Nottinghamshirep

Don't forget to soak the new seal in oil over-night, it reduces the wear dramatically,
let us know how you get on.

Thanks for the tip. My son will be doing it under my supervision as my eyesight is not good. I favour taking off the Dynamo housing rather than the radiator and cowing although it means re timing the engine. Not to difficult if I get no.1 piston at just before TDC and the rota arm pointing at no.1 plug lead terminal in the dizzy cap. I
