@raymond28 What are the dimensions? Specifically from one end of the T where the O rings are to the other. It may look slightly different, but might be identical to the F2's and F3's. Also the diameter of the ends where the O rings are. Not the O rings themselves.

Here they are for the F3. 1.627 or slightly longer than 1 5/8" from end to end. And 0.421" or slightly less than 7/16".

Hi I have spent most of today fitting the engine back into the frame, not an easy job on your own, jack it up a bit tie it off put blocks underneath, jack it up tie it off put blocks underneath, slowly slowly catch a monkey, So now engine back where it belongs, I remembered that the 2 rear engine bolts are fitted with alloy spacers on the left side, 2 at the front are fitted through the frame and directly into the engine, and 2 that fit through the frame and engine lugs and secured by nuts, right now my problem, all the bolts have been cleaned and greased but i have 2 flat pear shaped spacers left and cant remember which 2 front bolts they fit . hope someone can shed some light thank you Tony. more pictures to follow .
