S1MON Posted September 5, 2010 Share Posted September 5, 2010 There seems to be oil around the gearbox (5 speed) cover plate so I'm thinking of replacing the gasket/seal as I have a spare one. How awkward is it to get the bolts out (and just as important back in)? The gasket I have appears to be cardboard..ish, would I put that in dry, smear it with oil or what?

Area Representative Paul Richards Posted September 5, 2010 Area Representative Share Posted September 5, 2010 Simon Tricky, when you have hands like mine (bunch of bananas), but I managed it with a few scratches. You'll find it easier with a 1/4 inch drive socket set - I have one if you need to borrow. I used my old gasket with a smear of hylomar and it cured the leak. edited to say - make sure you put the cover back on the right way round. Paul Richards Area Representative - L.A.D.S.

S1MON Posted September 5, 2010 Author Share Posted September 5, 2010 Tricky, when you have hands like mine (bunch of bananas 😬 Thanks for the info Paul, I might take you up on the loan offer. I may do the dip stick mod while it's off if I can find someone to braze a nut on.

Area Representative Paul Richards Posted September 5, 2010 Area Representative Share Posted September 5, 2010 I can braze a nut on, provided I get some more brazing rods and I can dig my bottles out from under my daughters furniture.

S1MON Posted September 6, 2010 Author Share Posted September 6, 2010 Is there anything you don't have (apart from brazing rods 😬)! S111 SVN Lotus/Caterham 7 Map Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
