[QUOTE="timetraveller, post: 101063, member: 456"] Interesting reading for those who consider doing this kind of conversion on a Vin. When this is done on a Vin then the flange on the taper roller housing is on the outside of the main shaft tunnel, i.e. the primary drive container and the same idea of six screw holes through the flange is used. The outer part of the original crank case tunnel has to be machined down to allow for the thickness of the flange. Additionally a left hand screw thread can be machined into the outer end of the new bore to take an oil seal. As far as I know the Vin conversion does not use any oil holes like the Harley version above but several Canadian users have covered very large distances with no lubrication problems. [/QUOTE]
