Only bit of bad news Richie is that the 2 bolt covers are a little harder to find. They are out there mind you. I will check with a friend of mine this weekend who is big into flathead Fords unless you have someone local who can help out.

Default Distributor swaps

Adaptors are available to compensate for the distributor swap.
$30 is cost, here in Aust.

Alternatively, if you can't find one, or a 2 bolt cover, I think I may have a spare one here if you want it!

Wow Tony, cheaper down in Oz. I have seen those here in the US, last one listed was $69.99USD!!!
I figured that since Richie is doing such an original job, I didn't want to temp him with the idea of hotrod parts... Certainly an option if stuck though.
I am sure one of us here on MLU will get you sorted.
