gstallons

When you get to the point of installation , take some threaded rod and cut into alignment dowels to aid in alignment and installation .

I am sorry. I meant UBS not USB . The UBS fasteners have a flange made into them . Just remove one and get the same length , size etc . at a japanese m/cycle or car dealership . The only difference will be the head size .e.g. an 8mm ( Japanese/Asian ) bolt will have a 12mm head and others will have a 13mm head. IDK if Fastenal stocks them .I hate buying 20 min AND PAYING FRIEGHT. Does anyone know the size & I will see if I have some ?

I have always had success with Loctite 515 gasket maker .You do not need a gasket and it replaces the gasket . Perfect preparation gets perfect results . Mark the oil seal housing before removal so it will go back on the same way it came off .As for the crank seal , leave the old seal in the oil seal housing and try sliding/installing the housing onto the rear of the engine .Use a small paper clip unfolded to where there is only one loop . Use this to help work the seal over the end of the c/shaft . When you get good and feel confident , install the new seal into the housing .Clean everything and get ready ! Use a seal installer or a good substitute to make sure the seal is installed square and flat .515 [ not too much , just enough ] on the mating surface , lightly oil the seal / c/shaft seal surface and install . IDK if this plate has a dowel pin for alignment . I use to use liquid Teflon sealer on small block Chevy head bolts since the threaded holes went directly into the coolant . I would use a USB ( shouldered ) bolt instead of the factory fastener . Good luck .

That is some of the best work I have ever seen .

Are these gears steel , aluminum or what ?

I use Motorcraft electrical grease on electrical connectors . Amen on the dielectric grease and it's misunderstood purpose .

You do understand you will need the ABS system with electronic system , wring and everything else to go ?

A #2 pencil eraser is good preparation .... Believe it or not acetone is a good contact cleaner . I watched a YouTube video where this guy was cleaning the contacts inside Fluke meters to stop ghosting and poor display . I fixed two this way . saved lot$ and they still work .

I took my 2nd 5 yr. ride yesterday . Pushed $hit out of the way for 1 hr , a shot of air in the rear tire and grunt , click click click . 15 mins on the charger and the first cylinder to TDC it fired up . Got some gear on and left . After 20 mi. I met a buddy at the end of my road. He needed four 3/4'' flat washers . Then I got a text informing me the side boom rotary mower I had been working on was not functioning properly . Freedom while it lasted !

When people ask for help , it should be a requirement they post a fix or a close with a help[ request .

Go to the Alpina website . There is a section you can custom build . If you do not see what you want , contact them .

rossopuro marketed them , alpina built them . Have you contacted alpina ?

The difference is the thread "machined quality". Plus the fact they are about 4-5 Xs the cost . AN are military and probably aircraft use only . These other fittings with paired O-rings, I'm not sure, will take a few minutes to find. HTH I remember Ford used this setup on their A/C garter spring fittings .

I thought it was silk thread / Hylomar ?

Hmmmm . Have you applied Hylomar to the gaskets ?

Google and don't be limited to choice(s) . If I had it to do again , I would get Marvic . If I could do this w/o getting caught , I might get them anyway ........

Will do ASAP

FWIW . AN ( Army / Navy ) and JIC ( Joint Industry Council ) fittings are / appear the same . The AN fittings are made to tighter tolerances . They are both 37º fittings . Google for more info ! It's time for me to go to work .....

I have one from a 2003 .IDK about the width . Will it work ?

The washer on the Banjo bolt appears to be a Dowty washer . This should have one on each side of the banjo fitting . The o-rings on the other fitting may / may not have a MG part # . Go to a store that sells hydraulic fittings . e.g. Parker , Gates , etc . and ask them for help . Make sure they know this is metric stuff. HTH

Wooooooooo !

Is yours below or above the triple tree ?

I have Alpinas on mine ......Expensive..... Worth every cent .

Spoke wheels......as in factory (OEM) wheels ?

Joe K stuff .....GOOD !
