Hi

Sorry for the delay in replying, working away at the mo'

In building them I came to the conclusion to achieve the best outcome the check valves need to be fitted to the ferules before gluing onto the tube. This allows the ferrules to be made tight and pressed on to give a secure and leak free joint, and the orientation angle is correct to the crank case oil-ways.

So I could supply a kit and instructions to finish yourself (supply your own check valves and adhesive), or if you supply check valves to me I could build the whole line and test it. I would test the check valves before fitting to make sure they are good.

PM me to discuss further if interested.

Not particularly cleaver... :oops:

Just fortunate to have trained as an apprentice mechanical engineer on leaving school and still have access to machine tools to use those skills for my own ends.
