[QUOTE="timetraveller, post: 163893, member: 456"] When trying to make the Walkernator able to fit to as many engines as possible I found that there are at least three forms of these hole. Some are tapered as cast in. Others are machined in and others are flat, i.e. no conical hole at all. It is a nightmare and my solution was to provide a choice of three options. One for those who were using engine oil in the chain case was to provide a very soft 'o' ring with about an eight mm section. This was provided over length so that the owner could cut it to length, superglue the ends together and make an 'o' ring seal which would sit down in the hole at whatever depth was required to ensure some compression of the seal. The second solution was to provide a length of silicon rubber tube which, like the 'o' ring material could be cut to length and then glued with silicon mastic. Those were for use by those who use ATV in their primary drives. The third solution was for those engines where there is no conical hole but only a flat face on the back of the dynamo drive housing. In this case the use of silicon gasket material was suggested so that the plane face of the rear of the dynamo drive housing and the plane face of the dynamo replacement could be sealed against each other once it had been ascertained what depth of insertion was required to line up the drive sprocket with the central run of the chain.
