Title: B33/B33 Rigid Oil Return Pipe Connection
Post by: Geoff Leake on 16 Mar, 2023, 12:39
Hi guys, I need a oil return pipe connection, part number 65-8420 (see attachment) for my 1947 B33 rigid. Draganfly have had it on back order for over 3 months and can't give a delivery date. I can get one from Europe but with the postage charge it's somewhat costly. I have a pal with a machine shop who will make me one on his CNC machine but for that I need the dimensions. I've spent hundreds of pounds with Draganfly in the last 12 months or so, but to my annoyance and frustration, they're refusing to help me with a drawing/dimensions! Can anyone help please?

I have a spare tank, I'll check and see is a return pipe connector is fitted to it.

Hi Bess, wow that's good. I know, I'm easily impressed! Would you be prepared to sell me one of the new ones and if so, how much?

Hi Tony, Yes that's excellent. However, I've just tried to pay you by BACS but my bank doesn't recognise your sort code: 16-19-25. Can you please check it. Thanks Geoff
