750GT oil strainer clarification > RC vs SC.
Posted: Wed Jun 28, 2006 10:56 am
I have had recently two oil strainers sent me for my 750GT 1974. One was too short, the other too long??
I am perplexed?? I am aware that the later roundcases had a longer strainer fitted, the earlier ones had a shorter strainer. Can anyone provide some info. on the engine numbers ref the changeover. From my records my engine should have the longer strainer, but it clearly isn't this one. I am not convinced the first strainer wasn't an 860 strainer...so another question is......are there 3 strainer lengths out there?
The length of my removed oil strainer from the top of the bolt head base (top of the thread) to the end of the strainer (not including the spout) is 160mm.
