Title: oil sight glass dimensions, anyone know?
Post by: Rudemouthsky on September 03, 2014, 08:53:26 PM
Hello

My sight glasses came up missing during the teardown/powder coat process so it seems like a good opportunity to go with something like this in stainless:

Or maybe this in a billet aluminum:

Question is, are they threaded or press fit? if threaded I could go with something cool like this:

If press fit there are other options:

All of which are something unique and different, which I like!

So, does anyone with oil sight glass knowledge know the type and dimensions I would need to order?

Thanks!

Cool!

They're press fit.  I can dig up an extra and measure it, but not until lunch time.

Thanks, I'd really appreciate that!

This is the one I want or similar:

It's kind of funny how we tend to think of certain parts on our bikes as proprietory to Ducati when they're not. Ducati didn't have a special size sight glass engineered specifically for them, this is a common part in the chemistry/chemical industry.

Anyone? I need either the O.D of the press fit portion of the seal, or the dimension of the hole...no engine here to measure :(

Sorry, don't know the OD of the seal from the inside. Don't know if its stepped, flange or straight. :P Someone will.

Good to compare to anything custom you buy, just to be sure.
