Scottoiler fitting torture.

[skeetly]

Crikey!
I have taken longer to fit a scottoiler than it took me to fit a new exhaust, hugger and dog bones all put together!
Its on and its working but I'm not happy with how the pipe on the swinging arm looks.
I cleaned up the arm and sanded the squares where the two plasticy/rubbery pipe holders where to fit and glued them on with araldite and left them overnight.
This morning the araldite was still a bit rubbery (16 hours later). Mind it was in the shed so it could have been a little cold.
Threaded the delivery pipe through and got it just touching the sprocket and sorted out the priming and the drop per minute.
Then noticed the holders where tryig to come off!
I have now fitted some cable ties around the holders and arm but I'm not happy with the look of them.

I fitted mine along the bottom of the swinging arm which would be out of site if it wasnt for the bloody ties.
I may well dril and tap the arm as per Lozzo's method as it would be much more secure and do away with the ties.
Anyone else done this?

Fitted mine during the week, used two black cable ties along the arm, and ran the pipe under the swing arm, it works, that the main thing.

Trust the fact that the supplied super glue will hold the guiding plastics onto the bottom of the swing arm.

I fitted my ScottOiler almost a year ago - this is the only visible bit of it:

Self-tapper in the end of the delivery tube?

I detest seeing any Scottoiler pipework, which is why I fitted mine the way it is.

My ex-girlfriend did her own under my guidance, and fitted an R+G sharksfin at the same time. If she can fit those then anyone can do theirs.

Every Scottoiler delivery pipe I've superglued to the swingarm has fallen off, hence my decision to use P-clips.

How thicks the aluminium Lozzo? Will a self tapper do?
I seem to recall from my experiences with old landrovers that stainless steel doesnt like aluminium so I was thinking fo using galvanised self tappers.
I do have the gear to tap if required just wondering is all.

I was thinking of putting a scottoiler on my sv650 s 99 and have very little knowledge of how this is done. Is it an easy process which I could read the instructions and find my way around the bike to achieve this or should I just get a mechanic to do it for me?
