You have to remove the filter plate that is held by 4  nuts  - best to get a new gasket 1st in case you need it. Use any good quality 20/50 oil. - Regards - Phil

Reckon I'd be tempted to drill a hole in the filter plate and tap it for a drain plug.

Red is knocking some out with a drain plug incorporated.

aye, you find a lot of the sump plates cracked around the 4 stud holes and in general bad state so we started to make our own 750 billet alloy plates with sump plug hole included

I tapped a Magnetic Plug drain in my filter plate ;o)

Most Breganzie riders recommend 20w50 but I prefer 15w40 HDEO.

I have one of Redax billet housing's, brilliant stuff, I have no oil leaks and a breeze to change oil.

Hey Red, you have to get a decent website sorted so folk can see what you do and what you sell. Even set up a "shop" for online sales.

 

[LJ-2]

yes  Red,be interested in the sump drainer x 2 ,well at least the price so I know what to save for!

not interested in setting up a website or any other form of advertising, not even interested in buying one of those mobile phone things, very rarely even answer the landline phone these days
I have no interest in mass production, only design and machine these items to help me recondition engines properly

much rather spend my time doing small runs of custom parts, fixing and building engines and working out what gearing to run on the Salt in 2018

well i stick to the originals.

Run out, never knew they were standard on Kuwaiti GTLs ,he tells me, he does have the new billet ones at 90$cdn ,but is hoping to adapt standard plates of which he has a lot of.
