Good morning everyone,
Can anyone tell me if I should have any other 'sealing' parts on the sliding seal of my G12?
Seeing as there is a big gap around the shaft, I can't seeing it keeping much oil in the way it currently is.

Re: Chaincase oil seal
Hi John, nothing missing, the seal generally works okay in conjunction with the deflecting rib on the inner chaincase.
Pressed steel cases had just a larger hole/no seal behind the clutch until 1957 and relied on the internal deflectors.
If you are worried it would be possible to stick some thin additional felt on.

I think I often overthink these things
