If I could have a little guidance as to where I'm supposed to drill for the oil return, that'd be awesome.



Also, what else I have to do to make this front cover work...fittings, etc.



Thanks!



P.S. Damn that 19mm bolt is one big, tough ****.



Should I drill here?

The oil feed will be on the top corner of the front iron, by the lift eye. Thats the right spot for the drain as well. How do you intend to secure the oil drail to the front cover?

That circled spot is the right area for the oil drain.And the feed is on the front rotor housing next to the oil filler tube.
