Thanks to all for your posts on this. It's appreciated.

Is there a part available that allows oil to be fed to the motor from the rear of the frame on an OIF? Thinking of some sort of 'gland bolt' (wrong word I know) to which an oil feed banjo and pipe can be fitted.

Greetings to all.

Is this still active and working properly? All attempts to add my bike were rejected.
Plus the location map throws up a Google error dated 2011.

Do you have a photo of the alloy fuel tank?
How much are you looking for?

Thanks. I think I'll be trying that solution. Now to find some tube ...

Hi, does anyone have some of the shouldered electrics box bolts they can pass over for a fee? Part number 21-2128 I need three. No one here in the UK seems to be selling these now.

Thanks!

Thanks. I'll try some of this. Maybe I'm worrying too much - oil pressure build up on the roller big ends is low, so reducing the chance of the seal blowing out.

Hi, I'm refurbishing a WD B40 lump. This has the crank end feed oil seal pushed in with no retaining circlip in contrast with later motors that have this circlip. However, the new oil seal is a very easy push fit. I've tried fitting alterative seals from a different supplier, but the same issue aris...

Thanks for the replies re this. All concur with what I've discovered so far and I appreciate the input. Rear engine mounts need spacers as mentioned, I'm having these made at the mo. Plus new rear engine plates, as the much wider rear engine mount casting on the OIF motors has the bolt hole placed f...

That's great - thanks!

Looks to be set up about the same as mine.

Hi all, I'm planning to fit an ex war department B40 motor into an OIF B25/T25T chassis. I also plan to use a B44 motor in the same chassis at a later stage. Any tips, warnings or things to take into account when doing this? I'm already aware of the need for rear engine mount spacing, as the pre OIF...

Hi all, Can anyone advise on the correct depth for the sprocket side rear wheel bearing into a conical hub. My bike is an OIF chassis B25 type from 1971, but the T25T 'badge engineered' version. I'm concerned about sprocket alignment. The wheel I have has had new bearings, but these were fitted to a...
