Sight glass on A6 clutch cover.

Hi.all. Does anyone known how to safely remove the sightglass from the clutch cover of a 6th gen vfr 800?

 

Never tried it myself. But out of curiosity, what happened? Never seen a glass that fogged up before.

 

It isn't fogged up. I put some tape over it to shot blast is. Now gonna powder coat it hence why I want to remove it. If I can find out how too

 

Is it truly glass or plastic? If it is glass it should withstand the moderate heat of powder coating, however, different co-efficients of expansion may cause it to separate or crack. Hopefully someone else has already done this without a problem.

 

When I had my clear clutch cover done by Sebspeed over on VFRD, he said he would press the site glass out for me so I could get the cover powder coated. Not sure how he pressed it out mind you. Like Tink said maybe shoot Seb a PM and ask. I think Seb is a member here as well as VFRD, but don't think he spends as much time on this site.

 

Good advice guys. how long did your clear clutch conversion take zoom-zoom?

 

From time I sent the cover to Seb until returned it was about 4 weeks. This was over the Christmas holidays though so shipping times were longer than usual because of the holidays.

 

Thanks zoom-zoom I may mood into getting that done
