OK, here it is! it was a doddle to make, and it works pretty good, more testing to be done in Daylight tomorrow.....
here are some pics of the various steps. took me less than 1 hour start to finish (ok I had a break for lunch to let the glue dry, but actual build time less than an Hour) enjoy!

bottle cable tied in position, awaiting addition of tubing, 250ml bottle, would prefer 150ml or 100ml

above: there is a piece of plastic lolly stick jammed between the cable ties to separate them and keep them firmly in the end of the tube, i am just enlarging the hole to allow better oil flow

here you can see the piece of brazing rod i used ( you could use copper wire or a bit of Coathanger)
this makes it easier to position the end "feeders", the inside edges of the "feeders, which are made from cable ties are grooved with a Stanley knife blade , 3 grooves lengthwise, to aid with the flow of oil to the tip


Above: the tap here is in the "ON" position, if the lever was straight up, it would be in the "OFF" position

In the above picture Inoticed the end was too near the sprocket so then adjusted it, that is why there is wire inside the tubing, so it can be bent and keeps its shape..... Note: Oil is visible just a drip, right on the very Tip, the grooves are working!
so far so good......... if anyone wants step by step instructions I will post all the pics ( about 35 and instructions) on instructables.com with a link


Above: Finished Installation.

cheers

Nice work Martyn - you might remember this thread about the same topic:

http://www.horizonsunlimited.com/hub...in-oiler-28074

So, one question - why do all of these systems go to the back sprocket and not the (nearer) front drive sproket?

If they were put on the front sproket you would have the oil splashing all over your engine block just after it hits the chain, causing that horrible smell and smoke.

Where as if it's on the rear then it just goes over your tires when your riding slowly, something you have to watch out for.

plus you want the oil to be driven into the chain from the sprocket by centrifugal force, putting the oil on the rear sprocket allows the chain to be in contact with the oily sprocket for longer - and if you mounted on the front you would have to get it onto the top of the sprocket for it to work at all, which would be logistically difficult.

My DIY oiler, that I posted about some time ago, originally went to the rear sprocket but from day one had a problem with oil dripping onto the tyre when the bike was parked.
I moved the outlet to the top of the front sprocket back in the summer and so far so good. There is a bit of overoiling splash but it drips onto the bashplate and away from the tyre

Thats why I fitted this little tap!.....no more drips unless i forget to turn it off.......and knowing myself that will be 90% of the time!

Backof beyond, after todays run out, im going to change my design! to front sprocket oiling like yours........ Because..

1.) the oils oversplash on rear tyre caused some amazing sideways nearly brown trouser moments today!

2.) when I fiddled with the end of the tube to try to move it away from the sprocket it made the problem worse.

3.) I think I am going to go back to the drawing board, remove the lot and redesign with brackets rather than cable ties and a better oil delivery system. for safetys sake if nothing else!
