[QUOTE="Vic Youel, post: 4364, member: 87"] Stuart, My Miller needs a shim and it must be carefully placed too so that the dynamo does not tilt within the clamp. Also need to juggle the oil thrower/body clearance as well.....result is a few more oil drips. Not everything on a Vincent is a good design and certainly electrics seem to be an after thought! Mine has several other oil leaks but it stops corrosion...... that well used one at the Ace on Sunday could do with more leaks I thought! My chaincase does not normally fill up though. Cheers Vic:) PS Comet is a better design in terms of leaks and adjustment..... but you need to undo the timing cover to remove the dynamo. Something I am reluctant to do with my new Maughan rebuild...... the dynamo electrics don't work but haven't done any measurements yet as to determining the cause. [/QUOTE]
