Very nice Colin. They shouldn't last long. They are the hard to find box at home.

Hi all, I have just about completed a few sets of bottom engine heat covers. I don't think many of these survived as they are really hard to find. These are a 2 piece cover with aspestos in the originals. I have used fibro cement and spot welded the pieces together. I will be selling these if anyone needs some.

I had to make some serious press tooling to do these with quite thick steel not to mention a lot of them.

Hi Colin

I will have to check the ones that I have, but definitely would like to fill in a couple of holes where they are missing..

Will check tomoz and see which ones are required..

We refitted the engine on Thursday.. only drama is we have to much oil pressure...

Tim

I've just finished the last press tooling and done the put one together. Also made some small rivets to fit the inspection plate as per the original.

Colin, I am going to nick name you "The Farmer"!!!
A man outstanding in his field!!!
Wen I tell my missus I'm gonna have "Green Fingers", she thinks she's getting a landscaped garden, haven't the heart (or balls) to tell her differently!!
She's gonna be highly disappointed I think....!!!
