Cheers for that mate. I am not after one I just wanted to see what they look like. where are they supposed to go. As the landy gearbox only has a small hole on the top about 2mm in size. I don't understand how this works...

True but on the bottom of the bell housing looking to the front, there is this little hole that needs a plug before you play in mud and/or water

If not you will finish up with a messy clutch assembly and or gummed up starter motor as well (I can vouch for the latter, once for myself and the other of another engine) :wink:

You do need two though. One goes in the timing cover at the bottom too. :D
