I have recently bought an A65 Lightning as a retirement project that seems to have recently been reassembled, perhaps from a variety of models. It was advertised as 1969 but I am trying to identify the crankcases which have a square lug as seen in the photo. Can anyone tell me what this is?
Thanks
Tim
Hi,
I have never seen a plug like this. The square suggests some sort of plumbing bung.
The circular mark is where the gearbox oil filler was on earlier models that had a level plug rather than a dipstick. Perhaps a previous owner though that the gear box needed a breather but it looks like it has not been fitted quite square to the casing.
Dave.
Thanks Dave
I could not find any images of a similar arrangement.
I guess all will be revealed once I start taking it apart.
Tim
Definitely a plumbing action.
Thanks for the responses. In case anyone is interested, it is a simple, poorly executed, plug. I will be adding ally welding to the list of jobs!
