'New improved Chaincase seal'
Posted: Fri Feb 16, 2024 12:10 pm
Good afternoon,
I have a 1955 AJS 18S and i needed to replace the chaincase seal so opted for the new and improved one in the club spares.
Its arrived before Christmas but i wasn't ready to install it so i didn't really give it much of a look.
The time has come to fit it and i have found it is about an inch too short when I've offered it up to the casing, not to mention that its been hacked off at an angle so i will lose another 1/2 inch or so getting it straight.
When i rang up the number on the spare parts page he told me that they were all cut like that and that the seal should be 'stretched' into place and then cut off the excess.
Is this correct ?
Has anyone got any advice has to the best way to do it?
Thank you in advance
Chris
