Fluid Level View Windows

Richard Clark BS parts:
Fluid level view windows:

A common issue, is either leaking or loose fluid level gauges

These are located on the oil tanks of most BS models and a smaller one is located on the BS 350 clutch cover.

These were a cool idea. Problems today, age has usually shrunk the rubber around the glass viewer, therefore
the rubber either "pulls" away from the tank or case, causing a leak. Sometimes one can "reglue" these rubber
gauges.

We have used this method: Clean gauge, tank or case with hot soapy water, make sure
it is VERY clean. Apply a film of Permatex Form-a-Gasket #1 to both the edge of gauge
and area where it fits in the tank or case. Install gauge, let it sit and harden for a few days.

If the gauge as shrunk too much to hold tight, or leaks through the window itself, get a new one, we do have them in stock

Hope this helps
Richard Clark
