The stay is the right way for 1931 but it's the wrong stay.

The lightest (offroad) is still weighing 200 kilo's.

You can ad of all kind of technical reasons but i think (as the seal was only on HS) wich suffered from filling the crankcase when the oilpump had some dirt it was just to prevent to much oil going in to the primary.

I have a 1953 500cc and i cant find a wrong either.

Why weld if i have 2 NOS items for you.

I think 1951-1952 is more likely wich makes it all a lie.

I will do the same to my house if itś still working in 2 years.

Yes, you have done a very good job, for others just start and do it.
