So far I'm totally digging it. Noticing a few problems and issues that will need to be fixed though, as...

    So I am having a problem with this too. I have discovered that the part is now discontinued . Would you guys recommend to plug the hole or to find a replacement seal ? I ask about the seal because I've been told there is a shop in my town that specializes in oil seals of all kinds as part of...
