Covers & gaskets

#16 Post by Brian S » Thu Jan 05, 2012 1:23 am

OK,
Here's the deal:
I'll sell one billet cover, with 2 gaskets, so you have a back-up, stainless allen hardware, plus three long stainless fasteners for $50.00. You will need the long allens to install the gasket, remenber that the adhesive side goes toward the primary cover. The glue is very strong, so if you install it wrong, guess what happens, you rip the gasket getting it off to straighten it. I took the long allens, cut the heads off, so that I could use them as guide pins. It works very well, just drop it down. However, if you are going to do this, not not open the hole past what I did in the photo's. If you grind out the aluminum past the bolt holes, like it's die cast, it does not seal as well, the threaded holes will flex up and hurt the clamp load & seal. I tested it. Please email me at image@alexssa.net, and I'll start a folder just for this. Once you email with your address, I'll figure out shipping. Payment, Cash, Check or Paypal (with send funds), my Ebay name is race3bnw, for Paypal.
Brian

Maybe you can talk this guy into international shipping http://www.ebay.ca/itm/181451740126?ssP ... 1423.l2648" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

If you want to do it yourself talk to NK Racing. He might sell you just the cover and o-ring.

Thankyou long john, I have sent NK Nigel an email asking for a price, and if the plexi has the oring groove.

Fall back Is the ebay job, but wasted on me as I have a few side covers spare already.
Cant always get what you want, but ill take what I need I spose.

Cheers for your help mate. PS the NS400 arrives in about a month, still cant find any cheep Lomas pipes for the NS, please keep your eyes peeled mate.

Or Norbo sells the stainless steel cover rings http://homepage.ntlworld.com/ultimatelccrazy/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; Get one of these a piece of 6mm lexan off ebay & use the cover ring for a template. To seal it get some 5 X 2mm O rings for the screws & some 2mm O ring cord which you just cut to length & join with a dab of super glue to seal the window. :smt023 You don't need to groove the casing or the window, the O rings squash almost flat & seal perfectly.

Humm, I guess I fail to see why you'd want to make another potential leak problem.... I guess you'd have easy access to clutch adjustment though.... Maybe you just like seeing things go round.... :smt005

How very dare you, take that back, none of my bikes leak :smt005 the only thing that leaks is my eyes crying tears of joy when I ride them.
This is the third engine I have completely rebuilt in as many years, included in the builds has been a new clutch and cable. I do everything according to the book, the clutch beds in, then I find I have to re-adjust. Once bitten I guess, but in this case i've been bitten three times. I figure the side has to come off and I have plenty of spare side covers so im gunna live dangerously.
Cant see sealing to be a big issue, as you know steve the tranny is under zero pressure, and it holds bugger all oil.
Bling well, what can I say, might get some of those coloured washers and carve a seahorse with the dremell on the inside of the plexi just for a laugh.
