[Spridgets] parts

[David Camp]

Hi Gerard,

I have recently purchased your seal and can attest to the high quality of
it. I installed it with the help of this excellent video from Mini Mania:

How is your seal different from the one listed above, they appear to be the
same?

Thanks,
Dave Camp

MIchael,

The part you seek, commonly referred to as half moon seal is not readily
interchangeable between engines as-is. There are places you can buy them
in the UK, but they come as a set with the main cap. In order for the half
moon piece to function properly (i.e. not leak or rub) with the scroll seal
design, it must be machined (line bore or and/or hone) while assembled on
the block with the main cap. Do not remove it after that. Clearance needs to
be from .0015" to .004"

I also make a rear seal kit that substitutes for that part, can cures the
leak issue.

able to find it).  I need a rear crankcase cover, #35 in my Moss catalogue,
not shown in my VB catalogue.  Any one have one for sale in their spare
parts box?  Alan?
