Yeah, gaskets both sides Phil. Might be a bit messy otherwise....

I use this stuff : Hylomar , on the oil pan gaskets when assembling this . Just enough to cover both sides of the gasket . If it just comes out the side of the gasket when tightened , it is right. When you disassemble , the gasket does not stick and will come off in one piece w/o tearing.

Nancy Wilson's guitar intro, here. But, then all of the guitars. What a performance . . .

Someone over on MGNOC is selling a V11 Sport fuel tank, early model w/ chinpad. Looks to be in good condition . . . if anyone here is interested. https://www.mgnoc.com/classifieds.html

This could only be funny to a tiny subset of the world population, and even just a tiny subset of Guzzi people. Might only be funny to one guy we know . . .

Thanks mate. It's looking good this morning as was able to hobble round the supermarket with the wife! Most mobile I've been all week ! Cheers

Once again, don't stress youself. We're talking about a luxury product here. A couple of days, even weeks, wont break the bank.

Many thanks guys! 7 responses received as of Saturday morning Seattle time. Appreciate the prompt responses. Will email each of you individually early in the week...

Missed out a whole process of fitting the plate up to the crankcase. I hope there's a gasket between the roper plate and the engine crankcase, doesn't seem to be from the side image. Phil

Email also sent! Cheers Guzzler

Best wishes for a good mend your way, brother!

Pretty sure all the Kiwis on the forum are at least a hundred. Even the ones that have moved to Australia to veil their true identity . . .

Email sent Wanted to put Rusty Star Picket Plate in the Subject line but I (for once) followed instructions.

Yes apologies but we've been snowed in here. Just able to get out on the road today. Snow isn't too deep but its just sheets of ice and impossible to drive on. I attached a picture of my front driveway... Looks nice but I'm ready to get out of the house! Packaging is all ready and the Paypal account should be up and running. To help me keep track of everything may I request that everyone send an email to me with their name in the Subject line. Just your name, thats all. That will make it easier to identify each of you when communicating and searching for someone to email with tracking info. In the body of your email, tell me your FULL address for shipping and any specific requirements and I can coordinate with you that way. I'll have work out individual shipment costs because we have people all over the world... Ideally I'd like to make just a couple trips to ship, so if I can get as many names as possible over the next few days then I can do a run later next week. email me at: sales@theelementwebsite.com Hopefully that works for everyone. Once all is shipped and paid for I will make the donation and send Pete the confirmation. Thanks for your patience guys! Cheers. Andrey
