OK.... Update for those that care. Disassembled the whole mess again and checked everything. Through tests found that for what ever reason the original routing had all of a sudden been to aggressively sharp a bend on the final up to base of speedo??? Played with the routing all the way and now needle is dead calm from 0 to 60 mph Ciao

Here's what your sump return needs. One of these, https://picclick.co.uk/AN-6-AN6-JIC-Flare-MALE-FEMALE-SWIVEL-371566058971.html#&gid=1&pid=1 Plus an M16 to AN6 adaptor and a AN6 blanking plug. Of course you then need to make up a new drain hose with AN6 100 series hose 1 straight and 1 30deg AN6 fittings and a M16 banjo assembly. Making the hose is cheap and easy, probably around $100us and the sump fittings the same,easy to fit. You can then have easy oil drain via the blanking cap and nice looking blue and red anodised alloy AN fittings for everything. Here's mine The easiest way to achieve the "magnet" thing is to fit a Filtermag tn. to your now external filter. If you fit it at the 6 oclock position it also provides some rock protection to the filter from the front wheel. I have 2 of these fitted to the cars. https://4wdindustries.com.au/products/filter-mag-reusable-magnetic-oil-filtration-filter-life-extender-ss375 Ciao

A few days late, but wanted to report another successful 3-day 700 mile Catskill Mountains tour. Return home day 3 was moderate rain the whole way, but no issues whatsoever. Same goes for my friend's Duc. [emoji123]

My wear patterns and the prior images support that the thrust washer is (> should be YMMV! As guzzimeister says, that washer is in there, so don't let it slip away! [EDIT: Note that there as second thrust washer below the "Spindle/pinion drive" inside the gearbox NOT PICTURED HERE.] Dear me, and I thought the V11 sidestand was a Rube Goldberg apparatus!
