Hi all. Has anyone been able to fit an anti wet sumping valve to their plunger framed model 7 (or otherwise been able to stop the oil draining into the crankcase ?
There is so little room between the oil tank feed outlet and the rigid pipe that connects to the crankcase that I cant see a way of fitting one - and I'm fed up of draining the oil from the crankcase and putting it back in the tank before I can ride the bike ! I know the simple answer is to use the bike more frequently but it has to take its turn with my other bikes.

Anti wet sumping
Thanks for your reply Steve. I've had a look at the picture you posted and unfortunately I dont have anything like as much room to play with as you did on your bike so that arrangement wouldnt fit. Thanks anyway.

I fitted a Feked valve in the short distance between the tank and the banjo intake tube.
I posted a pic of this 5 days ago in this forum. The RGM filter is supposed to fit all post-war Nortons
"I was initially pleased with the quality, but I soon realised that there was no space in a Dominator to fit it in using the two 3/8" BSP spigotted adaptors supplied.
The way I got round it was to use an RGM universal filter R2/392, which has a female 1/2" 20TPI tapping (£26.28 incl), and a stainless 1/2" UNF to 3/8" BSP adapter from eBay. About £100 all-in."
