I’m after a bit of advice from you guys.
We noticed an oil leak on our recently acquired 1949 Rapide C.
The oil was coming from one of the rocker oil feed pipe connections.
On inspection our setup doesn’t appear standard.
The banjos we’re fixed with domed nuts rather than bolts and our ET100 feed bolt is nothing like shown on the parts list and is better described as a stud with an oilway cut into it with a sleeved nut attached - shown below.
Can anyone shed any light on this - was this an original configuration that has now been supersede?
Can I replace the above with a standard ET100/1 and banjo bolt from the spares shop?
Thanks
