----- ORIGINAL MESSAGE FOLLOWS -----
Can anyone help with the dimensions for the crankcase baffle
late spacing washers part no KD-1061 please?
I do like my restoration work to be accurate.........
Thanks in advance guys. Steve

No responses!! - I know I joked about it but it was a
serious question. I have a Henderson dealer's bulletin which
emphasises the need to remember to fit these spacers. I
quote:

'If the baffle is installed without the spacing washer, it
fit's tightly up under the cylinder openings and the suction
is stronger than if the spacer is used to hold the baffle a
slight distance away from the crankcase. This will be
helpful in machines which have given any trouble due to "oil
pumping" '

Diameters are not an issue but what is the length of the
spacer - referred to as 'slight distance' in the bulletin?
Are we talking 1/8"? 1/4"? Is it that critical anyway? Ang
help gratefully received - thanks guys - Steve
