I'll have a look.

Early millies will sort of fit BUT one of the oil hose connections is in a different place. That means bodging the hose runs with a longer hose. It also means that if you have a skidmarx bellypan, you will need to cut a hole in it to accommodate the hose connection.

just a thought

I would check the drain bolts first.... a weep there gathers and then pools..... ask me how i know....


Let's face it, you wouldn't go to a nurse to get good advice on a problem with a Falco - you'd choose an Engineer or a mechanic...
