Here is the proposed design, Ended up using 3/16 OD copper tube. The center fitting insert through the cap and threads into the bearing cap so It will act as the hold down bolt for the cap as well as the oil channel. I had first tried a banjo style fitting so that the copper tube would enter perpend...

Mike, Your awesome!!!!!

Thanks so much, I'll draw one up and post a pdf as soon as I can.

I'm hoping some of my friends on the east side of the pond will have some info they'd be willing to share. I'm looking for drawings on solder type nuts and nipple ends and the mating receiving end. I can't seem to find a source of the parts over here (all Googles lead me to UK sites). So I'd like to...

Basicaly, the ones I've seen are a ring round the crank with 36 notches the one at TDC is larger as calibrator. The notches are read by a small coil with a magnetic core. Don't ask about the attatched electronics, that's beyond my ken, but I believe they can calculate the crank position to better t...
