The diameter of the bolt needs to be comparable with the ID of the hose. yes cut the head off first, insert and tighten a suitable hose clip... paint as requiredFortunately I have one lying around but doesn't hot oil seep past it?
Should I prepare the pipe other than removing the paint?
Or as i did with a good pair of lineman pliers, flatten the last 10mm of the steel pipe & then fold it back over on itself...Isn't the chain oiler just a glorified breather pipe? Can it be shortened to above the oil level then just vented somewhere?

It hasn't so far Mike. It's actually more like plastic than rubber though.The bumpstop rubber doesn't deteriorate in contact with oil?
I still use a brass fish tank air valve inline, as suggested in an ancient Norton News. Cheap drip oiler and I don't mind oil spots here and there.
What do they look like?One of those was actually installed by the dealer after I had an issue with the oil mess, back in 1973.....
