Twin Generator seal

[matchless]

How do you stop oil leaks from the twin generator cork seal?
Is there an alternative sealing arrangement?
The 2BA draw stud takes up most of the seal area!

There are a few threads about this - try the Search facility. I just use the cork gasket, crammed in past the draw bolt, and a air amount of Wellseal sealant. With the dynamo strap loose, I lean the bike against a length of wood between the dynamo end cap and a solid object, so that the dynamo is pushed firmly against the seal. Then do everything up. So far (I will regret saying this) i's been fine each time I've done it.

When I re-fit the dynamo I stress the strap a tad to the n/s ( left when sat on bike ) whilst I tighten it up. I feel this tends to keep the whole thing pushed into position. Cork gasket and Welseal as above. Had no probs

Do not over tighten the draw bolt as a means of pulling in the Dyno you could strip the thread in the Dyno end plate.
