I have dug my old Thwaites 1 ton dumper out of the mud and given her a wash down. Starts first time as ever. She has a Petter single cylinder engine. The flywheel was fouling the tinware as this had started to come apart so I needed to remove it and maybe build a cage around the flywheel. I doscovered it is impossible to remove the flywheel guard without lifting the engine or removing the rear axle!! In the end I cut some of the tin to get it off. After a jet wash I have an oil leak from the oil pipe which goes from the cylinder head down to just behind the oil filter so I need to replace this pipe which has banjos on each end. Will I be able to purchase this from anywhere or is there another solution for this. Thanks guys

Although I don't know what this pipe looks like, I would imagine that you could get a new end soldered on if it was leaking on the end, if the pipe has holed I can't see why you could not but some and make one yourself, or again a good soldered repair.
