Bob,
Thanks for your interest.
I have access to machining facilities..
Engine as it stands is stripped and absolutely standard. It has no
mods other than the usual butchery.
I've got new crank rods, sleeves, waterpump, oil filter, cam etc and I
want to get it all as oil proof as possible. There's plenty of time
because I'm just starting with the wood work, having finished all the
body panels and stuff.

Viv,
Your seal questions are easy to ask, but not so easy to answer
without asking several more questions. You need to own, or have a
friend who owns, a small lathe and a vertical milling machine and
you'll probably get the jobs done for a case of beer or a bottle of
Scotch, otherwise its going to be very expensive.
In my experience the most important seals are for the vertical drive
shaft as they keep oil out of the dynamo. S&V will sell you a seal
and carrier for an internal seal there if its never had one before,
but I always put one on the outside of the vertical drive drain
housing as well. The internal seal requires no machining but the
outer one does as the "flinger" needs to be removed from the drive fork.
Seals can be installed on either end of the crankshaft but before I
can suggest how you do it, I need to know what you have at the
moment, and what you are aiming at !
Cheers, "Bob".
