+ | * 1/4" BSP tapered tap. | ||

+ | |||
+ | The original plan: \\ | ||
+ | Remove the engine plate, fill / drill holes as required, machine the large bolt to accept the 3/4" BSP fittings and weld/braze it in place. \\ | ||
+ | But due to how close the gasket would be to the edges of the plate, the hole positions dictate placement. \\ | ||
+ | So this mod was created instead as a dedicated filter base that would onto the motor mount. \\ | ||
+ | The sketches below were created as a rough design with the final shape being cut to best suit the motor mount. \\ | ||
+ | |||
+ | There is a dedicated gasket face built by dishing out the bulk of a metal plate. \\ | ||
+ | The pipe fittings are threaded into the plate and bolt and sealed with thread tape / crush washers. ((photos by sifty of the XLFORUM http://xlforum.net/forums/showthread.php?page=22&t=1592463)) \\ | ||

+ | |||
+ | A 100 x 10mm mild steel flat plate was chucked up into a 4-jaw chuck, skimmed for a gasket surface, center bored and dished for the filter section. ((photos by sifty of the XLFORUM http://xlforum.net/forums/showthread.php?page=22&t=1592463)) \\ | ||

+ | |||
+ | The bolt was clamped in a lathe and thru drilled with a 11.5mm bore and the ends turned down. \\ | ||
+ | (drill the hole nice and slow to keep down heat) \\ | ||
+ | The bore was tapped to accept the 3/4" BSP connector. \\ | ||
+ | The plate was then roughly mock sketched and cut with an angle grinder, cut-off discs and a file. \\ | ||
+ | The final shape will be done when you can hold it in place relevant to mounting bolts etc. ((photos by sifty of the XLFORUM http://xlforum.net/forums/showthread.php?page=22&t=1592463)) \\ | ||

+ | |||
+ | Then the plate was mounted back in the lathe to turn down the mounting tabs. \\ | ||
+ | This will reduce unnecessary weight and allow the use of the original engine mount bolt on the front tab. \\ | ||
+ | The filter sets there better using the engine bolt. ((photos by sifty of the XLFORUM http://xlforum.net/forums/showthread.php?page=22&t=1592463)) \\ | ||

+ | |||
+ | Test fitting now helps to shape the mounting tabs and locate the optimum position for the oil hole. \\ | ||
+ | The threaded nut was welded in the rear side (having chamfered the nut and rear of the plate to enable a good fill). \\ | ||
+ | The weld was turned down flush and the hole was drilled and tapped for the oil inlet hole. \\ | ||
+ | The motor mount was drilled and tapped for the plate while on the bike. \\ | ||
+ | Then the filter surface was masked off and the plate was etch primed and top coated. ((photos by sifty of the XLFORUM http://xlforum.net/forums/showthread.php?page=22&t=1592463)) \\ | ||

+ | Here's a closer look at the mounting tabs that were turned down to reduce the thickness. \\ | ||
+ | (to allow for using the original engine mounting bolt) \\ | ||
+ | This solid flat steel plate could be thought of as a really big washer. \\ | ||
+ | The oil line connectors protrude through the engine mounting plate and are accessible for connections. ((photos by sifty of the XLFORUM http://xlforum.net/forums/showthread.php?page=22&t=1592463)) \\ | ||
