2nd Shaft Oiling Provisions  Empty 2nd Shaft Oiling Provisions

Guys, I'm puzzled about the 2nd shaft oiling. I have two questions:
1) The RH angled oiler is totally different with no bowl/wick design, so how do we add a meaningful amount of oil?

2) The LH oiler is lost behind the water pump. There is a bracket on the rear Spectacle plate to elevate the oiler above the pump, but what pipe/fittings are provided to link between this new position and the original 2nd shaft tube threaded hole?

Any guidance would be most appreciated
Chris

Hi Chris, use the oil bowl & fittings with the 90 elbow for the r/h side & the left side is in kit 24 which includes the oil pipe, hope this helps

Hi Mick, Good idea to use the 'proper oiler' (with bowl and wick tube) at RH end.
I'm still stuck though, because my Kit 24 only contains 1x oiler bowl/tube/cover and that's needed for the governor.
No sign in Kit 24 of the extension oil pipe to reach up to the bracket either.

I guess I'll have to bounce this question off Steve at STW.
Best Regards
Chris
