pete roper Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 If anybody needs one I have just done another run of V11 sloppage sheets. While I endeavour too keep these in stock the fact is that the cost of producing them increases dramatically with small production runs and for a comparatively rare and now obsolete machine there are times when I simply can't justify a small run. Anyway, they're available at the moment if anybody is interested. Just email me motomodaoptusnet dot com dot au Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
docc Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 Good to hear, here, from The Wizard of Bungendore! Pete, can you post a price? Will buyers need to also get two new sump gaskets? Thanks for making them available again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gstallons Posted December 14, 2013 Share Posted December 14, 2013 Hi pete, Being a newby i have no idea what they are. Could you please explain briefly? Thanks This plate performs a similar function as baffles do in in a large fluid tank. They prevent fluid from sloshing from side to side and or back and forth. This plate slows down the fluids ability from sloshing up in a corner or one end of the crankcase under acceleration or deceleration. Believe me , you need this . Plus , you see in the picture the oil filter has a hose clamp holding it and preventing it from backing off. DO THIS TOO ! That clamp costs le$$ than a rebuild !

AndyH Posted December 14, 2013 Share Posted December 14, 2013 I still have a screw corroded in place that's preventing me from removing the sump upper - defied all efforts so far to remove it so a sloppage plate isn't an option for me yet. I take the route of keeping the oil level high as a precaution instead. I must confess I have never seen the oil light flicker on even when accelerating hard uphill, although I'm not in the business of tempting fate too much. Believe me, when I get that bugger shifted finally, a plate will go on, but it could be an engine out job. Maybe this winter? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gstallons Posted December 14, 2013 Share Posted December 14, 2013 If the socket head is too far gone for a Torx or fractional Allen head wrench , you can drill the head off the screw . Us a 8 or 10 mm drill bit to remove the head. After you get the housing off you can remove the rest with pliers . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyH Posted December 15, 2013 Share Posted December 15, 2013 The problem is getting a drill properly centred with the engine in the frame, hence engine out. Anyhow, I think this job will involve welding a boss onto the screw: the heat will help loosening the screw and give some proper purchase on it. Pliers just won't get the grip on a mere stub of thread if I do get the socket head off. It'll have to be done sooner or later, just have to bite the bullet as I do want to get a plate in there.

droydx Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 Just heard from Mr Roper. The cost is $250 Australian, delivered. Works out to be $225 US That's weird because he just told me yesterday that they had gone up in price from $230 US to $250 US. Whatever it is, he's got that from me, and if it is the lower price you quote, then he can keep the difference and have a few beers on me for the holidays!

pete roper Posted December 25, 2013 Author Share Posted December 25, 2013 I had an email meltdown just before X-mass. Three were sent out to people I received payment from Tim Noble, Dennis Hall and Andrew DiMizio. Anyone else wanting one please contact me again but they won't probably be shipped until after 06/01/14 as I'm going to the beach to drink beer for ten days!
