Will replace the seal when the it is time to do the clutch. The drips were just a pain in the butt.

Do the clutch and seal now! If the leak gets worse you may be just saturating the clutch disk with oil now!

He just posted for entertainment...

Looks heavy. You need to drill some holes to lighten it up.

It is aluminium.

It does prevent any "spots" when visiting friends.

Do a little R&D, market it for $159.99. Some may say you're a bit greedy, but most will bite and think it's a very fair price and a great product. People here understand business has to make a profit. Oh, and as CEO, maybe you can get paid millions a year ;-)

Get me another beer please!
