Ruddy. I think I'm right in saying that Mr Buckingham passed away a couple of years ago and his wife keeps the supply going but doesn't use email, only phone or post as printed in the Jampot advertisement.

I have a Buckingham seal on my G80S and it doesn't leak any oil at all - not a single drip! However, I did smear some tallow around the lower half of the chaincase join and gently used a heat gun (paint stripping gun) to melt it into the join. I heated it gently as I didn't want to destroy the paint on the cover and I figured the tallow would only need gentle heat to melt it. Cheers. Bruce.

The club seal is no 1, no leak easy to fit.

That's the difference, you had to faff with tallow. The club seal needs none of that messing around. :beer:
