Oil return housing?

[Gazzab]

I need what I think is an obsolete part. Anyone know where one might be found? I need a serviceable oil return housing thing (the one that takes oil from the pressure relief valve to the sump)? Mines cracked and i want to replace it. I am not sure this is an available part or where to try...?

If you don't mind used, these guys have one listed as breaking...

Surely Andy would be your best bet for this gazza?

Not a good start for the new motor.

Worse case get it welded. A good Alu weld should be fine.

Don't ask, the list of issues is 2 pages so far. Where's that towel!

[ridds]

Off. Well if you get stuck I know some good welders down Northampton.

[Gazzab]

Well it can't be welded. Andy at Apm doesn't have one. Anyone got any ajp spares...?

[gruffalo]

Try Jason at STR8SIX, he has loads of bits in his engine build room.

Or I am up there on Saturday and I can ask him if he has one if you want?

Seen the pics, fab man is happy he could do it. Just need the part.

Up to you Gary , depends how keen you are to get back on the road and try out that motor.

Cheers ridds. Joolz welding man looked at it and said no, too thin and oily...? Do you reckon it's something that could be done quickly (assuming it could be done)? Gary

Put it inthe washer with Bio powder that will get rid of all the oil residue.
If its a cheap cast(which it probably is) then you will have to use from 170amp - 200amp after carefully pre heating it other wise Pop it will go!

Yeah Joo dropped me a pic and I forwarded it on to the fabby. He said no real issue, just queried if there was an o-ring groove in the face.

How quickly do you need it doing? Should be able to turn it around in a few days.

[Gazzab]

Sounds fab ridds. Joolz has space in workshop for my car for a few days I believe...

[Gazzab]

Thanks Ridds for all the efforts. Hopefully should have a repaired housing back to Joolz in the next couple of days or so.
What a decent chap you are !

[ridds]

Happy to help!
