Cheers

Steve

Tiger racing do 2 one is steel and the other is cast ally I bought the cast one £285 delivered uses the standard duratec dipstick. I'm in the process of fitting it today if I don't get to pi££d up the pub today I will post some pics later if you like

If a little hammer won't fix it get a bigger hammer

If you have access to a TIG welder, you can shorten the stock one for relatively little money or effort.

or if you talk to flakmonkey he will sell you a flatpack and you can weld up a steel one

I'd love to give my imaginary friend a great big hug,

but this jacket makes it impossible.

I was under the impression that Flak Monkey wasn't doing them anymore (not sure why, maybe I just made it up in my own head like a lot of other things!).

It's certainly of interest though, but I've never welded anything before so a steep learning curve and big problem if I get it wrong and end up dumping all my oil at some point.

Does anybody know if Flak still does them or is willing to sell the plans? I have tried messaging him but with no response. Anyone have a copy of the plans they would be wiling to share?

Yes the sump fits fine I did a small mod to the windage try as it was catching the oil pick up.
I only filled it with oil on Tuesday and not been home to see if it's all still in or on the workshop floor I'm home to night so will have a look and if all goes well on Sunday I'm May even get it running fingers crossed
