No, I haven’t Bruce. Would it cover the gap between the flat bottom clutch cover and the round chaincase?
Exactly. My Shadow outfit has always had a standard clutch.
Can you rotate the cover so that the flat section is no longer where the oil will pool. Making a round paper gasket which bridges the flat section to the top of the clutch housing may be sufficiently oiltight and the round section of the cover should not get scuffed when you're cornering with an outfit.
Hi Ian. I have turned the cover round and there is a fair gap at the top, which I have put on with a wider gasket but still get a weep even with sealer. Tried cork, paper and Klingerite with some success, but it seems a bit of a bodge. Might try the Cometic gasket or thinking to make a thin alli spacer with a paper gasket each side.
You might try a bead of RTV silicone around thte joint. If you let it go off before tightening the screws it forms a sort of rubber "O" ring. As it is the clutch there is no chance of any silicone getting into the engine oiling system.
