I love Timothy Taylors Landlord - got pretty "happy" one lunchtime in Bristol with my mate Bob whilst our wives went shopping (we were attending a friends wedding) sadly Bob's wife died suddenly at home of Covid last year. Yvonne is the only person that I know who died from Covid - that said my circle of close friends is not huge.
Back to the rebuild:-
Yesterday I finished fitting the front wheel bearings in place with seals spacer etc - if the cold weather holds off I hope to get the front wheel fitted as soon as my little jack arrives. That will leave me the wiring to connect up, tappets, timing,exhuast system then finally sort out the tank & side panel paintwork. Snagging lists of things to tighten, check & adjust.
I can see light at the end of the tunnel - that's why I'm slowing down perhaps as I do not want it to end?

Speed up, Ted. More time to ride and tinker…or even start a new one.

I've been offered a LML Star 125 Scooter to restore - I may have offended my friend when I told him it thought was worthless now and would still worthless restored - easier for him to buy a Royal Alloy!
My bike jack arrived this afternoon so whilst it was above 10 deg I have removed the front wheel, started dismantling / cleaning the speedometer drive as the temperature dropped so will see what bits if any you can get for the unit - at the minimun I could do with the oil seal but can't see it listed in the parts book or on the DS site.
Anyone have a source for a new speedo drive hub oil seal?

I think the other seal inside the tunnel is the same as the 500/550 tacho drive.

The seal has the markings NOK AE1967E .

It's a 34x48x7 and here is where I bought mine from. It's also a double lip seal.

Thanks Ken I've ordered one.
Updated 2/12/21:-
Seal has arrived - despite the cold weather - I fitted it this afternoon - now waiting for the large "O" ring and small cable end seal so I can assemble the whole axle, fit the brake disc and get the wheel in place before the ice age sets in.
PS I Googled Four Feathers Falls - I remeber the cartoon but not the name.
