Fantic 200 engine case

Hi I have a rear kick minarelli 156 powered fantic 200.

 

Starts fine and seems to run ok, well until the kick start broke off. I decided it is a good time to investigate the transmission oil leak before searching for a kick start. The oil is coming from the gear change shaft seal. The seal is being held in place by what looks like metal glue, as a result of damage to tbe engine case.

Apart from continually scanning ebay, has anyone any idea where I can source a left hand engine case, or maybe there is a miracle worker out there able to fix these things. I dont want to pull it apart unless there is a good chance of repair.

 

Thanks Tony

ok so here's the first attempt at a repair....

Make a shim: take an aluminium tube (from and extending hose brush) , OD 22mm, ID 20mm, cut off 7mm length and epoxy it into the recess.

Obtain a smaller oil seal, add a bit of hylomar to the outside of seal and fit.

It's not leaking anymore. will see how it goes. Total cost to me so far... zero plus oil seal. I suspect if it fails I will get a shim machined  to fit properly.

Thanks to Bob Wright for the idea.
