In a similar vein, I got home from work on Wednesday to find my bike had been leaking oil all the way home, on closer inspection it seems one of the three nuts had come off the oil filter cover. I've found a nut to replace it but the 27 quid in oil and new filter wasn't part of my spending plan this weekend :? .

blue hope you find the bits soon, luckily i had the bits to repair her in my shed, but was still out at 0800 making a indiactor bracket using metal off of an old washing machine, is there no way to repair the panel for now just to get you back on the road, have got plenty of fibre glass up here if you want to give it a go
