Leadership Team RogNeedham Posted February 5, 2012 Leadership Team Share Posted February 5, 2012 please see pics here does the spindle need removing - or can it be covered up? Is blanking plate on other side ok? Rog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJ. Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 There is an oil seal around the spindle, but over time there is a chance it will drip oil. As you don't need it, I would remove the large blanking plate remove the speedo drive and the oil seal and then seal both holes with blanking plates. It is a long time since I have done this, so I hope this is right. I may have a spare small blanking plate left over from my build, so I'll have a look in the garage shortly Duncan Edited by - DJ. on 5 Feb 2012 16:36:48 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJ. Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 I've found both large and small blanking plugs. They were provided with my kit, but the holes had already been blocked with a long cap head bolt where the head sealed the speedo drive hole and it threaded into an alloy blanking plate at the other end. I can post one or both to you if you wish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Area Representative Richard Price Posted February 5, 2012 Area Representative Share Posted February 5, 2012 Rog, When you remove the cap opposite where the speedo would drive from, you're likely to trash it! (NO, not just you, but anyone ) Replacement is here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leadership Team RogNeedham Posted February 6, 2012 Author Leadership Team Share Posted February 6, 2012 thanks DJ/Rich I already have the small blanking plate - can't remember how I came by it DJ- I work within 1 mile of CCM so can pop in and pick up the large cap - but thanks for the offer Rich - glad to see your faith in my abilities is steadily improving 😬 Do I remove the large plate first and push spindle out? - any tips you can recall?

Area Representative Richard Price Posted February 6, 2012 Area Representative Share Posted February 6, 2012 Quoting RogNeedham: Do I remove the large plate first and push spindle out? Rog, Yes. Prize out the cap on the opposite side, and then push out the speedo drive gear from the side that is currently visible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
