[QUOTE="highbury731, post: 165470, member: 1557"] Having taken another look at my engine, I realise that I have already fitted PD21, and it does not want to come out, due to a close fitting G24 seal. It was a while ago that I last worked on this area..... I came up with another idea. The C18/1 seal is completely ineffective, as the rubber touches neither the spline area nor the threaded shaft. It has no chance at all of doing ANYTHING. A fellow Vincent owner said that many people fit a Series D o-ring along with it - but that has no real chance of doing any good either. What about a Series D o-ring on the shaft to seal against the end of the shouldered spline area, and make a stepped disc to press on it, in place of C18/1? I measure the spline area of the shaft as 1.52" long, and the depth of my shoe carrier 1.790". That makes the overall thickness of the shoulder 0.270" minus depth of the recess for the C18/1, the thickness of the O-ring (3/32") and minus 5 thou. That means a minor turning job, and no hardening required. That comes to 0.270 - 0.075" - 0.094" - 0.005 = 0.096" Come to think about it, didn't Trevor Southwell suggest such a seal arrangement?
