Ignition cover

[Jdeac]

Anyone seen a cover like this before? I'm wondering if it had a window or plate In it originally. And who made it

How much do you want for it, its obviously worth less as the oil will leak out

Wasn't really looking at selling mate. But I could be open to an offer as I have a couple of different ones 

[fatblokeonbandit]

Is there  anything you need that could be a swap?

Maybe for quicker access to those variable timing rotor buttons

[Jdeac]

So any ideas to the maker of this cover??

 I know Woodcraft had covers with replaceable inserts.

 

Could be inspired by their early design?

I've heard of woodcraft. But nt sure if they did oil boiler stuff

I've been sat bored drinking But tinkering. What's the opinion on this?? Cleaned the cover up a little and went mad and made an infill. always forget pics. And I don't really have a use for this cover. Nor am I a polishing pro

Looks good.

Looks good ,and gives the option to personalise it , OSS logo ,engine capacity , etc without permanently altering the main bit of the cover

Cheers. Not something I've done before. Like what you say about it could be personalised

How would I go about getting the oss logo on there???

[DAZ]

I would ask permission to use the OSS logo first as it maybe registered . If it is ok for you to use it ,then :

milled aluminium, for a logo it would need to be cnc 

How about engraving, if you don't have a friendly machinist with a milling machine then take it to a trophy shop to be engraved, if you're patient and have a steady hand you can do it by hand ,

Or painted/sticker logo's . vinyl wrappers can take a digital image and transfer it to vinyl ( not sure how the vinyl would deal with the heat though )

Acid etching where you paint on a masking agent and then an acid wash or two to erode the unmasked metal 

Similarly sand blast etching,  probably more ideas out there but those spring to mind
