    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Oil sight glass

Years ago an engine fell over and luck would have it whatever it hit pushed the sight glass out. So my question is for those that have installed one what's the process. I was for sure planning on some three bond around it when reinserting it.
 
A look at a spare cover shows a generous amount of adhesive.
they are like brake res sight glasses.
Is there any solvent that will melt ages old sealant?
 
I have replaced one, make sure hole in case is nice and clean. I used scotchbright, very thin smear of threebond in hole and around sight glass rubber. Ease in with your thumb, wipe any excess sealer off with solvent and leave to set.
 
Yeah, I’ve done it too. Cleaning the old sealant is key, brake cleaner and scotchbrite worked for me. Just don’t scratch the surafce.

Tiny bit of ThreeBond on the rubber, press it in with your thumb, wipe the extra, and let it set before use.
