Speedometer cable delete doohickey on the spare parts airhead, take 2.
I found an old 4 speed /5 gearbox that I think was acquired from @almondjoysgotnutz a long, long time ago (2014?) in a land far, far away (Atlanta).
Anyhoo, if the stock little hollow M6 ground strap bolt works swell as a breather, 6 radially drilled 3/32" holes should do just fine. If water intrusion becomes a problem, a few of them might get a wipe of epoxy.

Since there's going to be a GPS module driving an electronic speedometer, there's no need for the stock speedo cable, BUT! a 2 valve BMW needs to breathe or else oil will ooze out of very inconvenient places. So, a hunk of 1" 6071, a 1940s Monarch 10ee lathe, and 15 minutes of time and Voila! A solution.
Enjoy the Modern Lovers "Roadrunner" in the background.

I've been hanging onto this spin-on oil filter kit from Motoren Israel for ages. Who has run one? Did it maintain oil pressure? Let's hear it!

The spare parts bike finally rolls. I just wanted to see how it sits on its wheels. So far, so good.

Soooo, we'll be hunting wascally (chocolate) wabbits tomorrow and the shop will be closed BUT (swipe>>>>) our pal @elgatoengineering will be hosting a groovy Cars and Coffee event right around the corner from the shop.
@via.meccanica making a really ratty BMW R100 Mystic seat look better than new. And check out that R100RT inspired stitch pattern.

I've never been super thrilled with my Airboss planishing hammer so I made a set of thumbnail dies for shrinking sheet metal. It still needs tweaking and a nice polished surface, but I think I'm on the right path.

And while I'm whipping up little trim pieces using the shop pins, it seemed only fitting that a nice shift knob was in order for the 1962 Jaguar MkII that @elgatoengineering and I put about a bazillion hours into.
