Thanks, Johnny and Paul.
Given that the bike has the standard aluminium-edged number plate, no additional fixings on to the mudguard are necessary. I think I'll look for some small screws and nuts.

Pressed front number plates.
My Square Four came with a pressed aluminium rear number plate, but a blank standard Ariel number plate on the font mudguard. I've bought a pair of curved pressed aluminium front plates, but I'm unsure of the best way of mounting them to the Ariel plate. The rear has been fitted using pop rivets, wh...

Re: Square Four oilways - a new way to block them
Those OPRV's can be problematic at the best of times, in my experience, but the ball finding its way into the oil gallery must be the fault of the previous person who worked on the engine, surely? Has the inner end of the OPRV body been drilled-out at some time, I wonder?

Re: WD 40 Type Liquids
What would you be using it for? If it's for preventing corrosion, it's not great, as has already been mentioned.

Re: Sq4 Mk2 Rocker Arm Wear
Hi Johnny,
I don't see any specific references on the Draganfly website, just a general mention of engineering services. I'll phone them and ask.

Re: Sq4 Mk2 Rocker Arm Wear
Thanks, Roger. It looks like all the rockers are beyond the .060" limit so will need building-up and grinding.
The next question is, who in the UK does this kind of work? Does anyone have any experience of having this work carried out?

Sq4 Mk2 Rocker Arm Wear
I'm in the process of building a Mk2 engine from accumulated parts. I have a set of rockers (B-type, with adjuster over the pushrod) and they all show a noticeable wear ridge on the pad which contacts the valve stem end. What is the best option for repairing them? Can they be ground/stoned back to t...

Re: sq4 Coupling gear play
An interesting question! I'm sorry that I can't offer any specific advice on this, but I do wonder that if the play is not acceptable, what can be done about it? Both of my Square Fours have some play in the meshing of the coupling gears, but I just live with it. Someone else will be along with a mo...

Re: Damaged piston
Thanks for all the replies.
The general consensus seems to be that it should be ok. Crack testing using dye sounds like a good idea. The pistons are +40 thou, if anyone has one...
I'll have a good think.

Re: Damaged piston
The piston came to me in the condition shown, so I don't know what the 'shrapnel' may have looked like.
That's two replies in favour, any against?
