[QUOTE="Jim Richardson, post: 26006, member: 1160"] i fitted a multiplate to my twins, the first had an undrilled outer cover, so i leaned it over onto the opposite propstand and dribbled as much oil as i could into the bottom of the housing, then refitted the outercover using a non setting sealer, whose name I forget ( think its known as gorrilla snot), that one has been fine but sometimes slips. The other one was a more recent conversion using the same kit, the cover had been heavily ventilated in the past, so i filled alll of the holes bar one at the top back with araldite, refitted with Gorrilla snot and put 4 decent squirts of oil in from a oil can and that is now fine. Initial problems i had with the later kit were traced too there being too much play in the location of the drum, which seemed to dislodge the plates and cause overheating and slippage, i packed out the drum by 1 m6 plain washer and that solved that, my current problem is that the new push rods i fitted seem to be made of chocolate and quickly lose adjustment in traffic. The springs in the later kit seem to be heavier and i have ordered some for the rapide, although the slippage stopped last time i took it out. JimR [/QUOTE]
