Chay Posted October 24, 2022 Share Posted October 24, 2022 Wondering if these ape covers can be machined to take a sight class.ive seen some that have but maybe they came like that Quote Link to comment
Arttu Posted October 24, 2022 Share Posted October 24, 2022 Mine came without sight glass hole so I drilled it by myself. Or actually a friend of mine drilled. So yes, it can be machined. Quote Link to comment
Reinhoud Posted October 25, 2022 Share Posted October 25, 2022 I made one myself. The biggest challenge was to find a pipe, or whatever, what goes over the basket.. Quote Link to comment
Reinhoud Posted October 25, 2022 Share Posted October 25, 2022 Your main problem is the clutch controler, or whatever you want to call it.. When you make the clutch hydraulic it shouldn't be a problem. Quote Link to comment
Dezza Posted October 25, 2022 Share Posted October 25, 2022 Given the amount they cost, it wouldn't exactly kill APE to install a sight glass during manufacture Quote Link to comment
Reinhoud Posted October 25, 2022 Share Posted October 25, 2022 I can make something for you, but it's then made from steel, and you'll need an hydraulic controlled clutch. Take of the part where the clutch control is in, bolt on a steel brim, not very big, with lexan bolted in it. Quote Link to comment

Chay Posted October 25, 2022 Author Share Posted October 25, 2022 Ta Arttu Will measure them as see what's best before I order from fowlers Quote Link to comment
dago Posted October 25, 2022 Share Posted October 25, 2022 I bought a new sight glass & took them to a local engineering place and they machined it for me Quote Link to comment

As has been said the Oil boiler one is a good fit there is also a bad "H" word bolt in one that i have seen used "but it looks crap" Edited October 25, 2022 by Duckndive Quote Link to comment
