[gpz]

does any one know if not using the speedo cable on reliant gearbox will it leak oil if not blanked off and if it does what can u use to blank it off

[tony b]

it will leak oil ,try a 22mm plumbing blank or cut the end from the speedo drive,the bit that screws onto the box and solder a 1p coin into it.

It's only a little dribble, working it's way round the threads of the drive unit, but obviously a little drip can go a long way, (just look at Tony Blair), so if you're not using it, then definitely blank it off. I found cutting the screw-on fitting from the end of an old Reliant cable & blanking the hole in it with a rubber blanking grommet, sealed with a dab of Araldite glue, did the job on my last one.
Alternatively, give Twisted Patience or FLC a shout & persuade them to machine you a purpose made blanking cap.

just out of curiosity has anyone actually ever met TONYB ? could we have an X labour leader in our midst ?

[panthershaun]

can't be, our one is far too clever after all his is BUILDING a trike, all the other one did was to ruin things

I've long suspected TonyB is just a figmant of our collective imaginations. He doesn't really exist
-does he?
