Jdeac Posted July 23, 2023 Share Posted July 23, 2023 Anyone seen a cover like this before? I'm wondering if it had a window or plate In it originally. And who made it 1 Quote Link to comment
fatblokeonbandit Posted July 23, 2023 Share Posted July 23, 2023 How much do you want for it, its obviously worth less as the oil will leak out 3 Quote Link to comment

But I could be open to an offer as I have a couple of different ones Quote Link to comment
fatblokeonbandit Posted July 23, 2023 Share Posted July 23, 2023 Is there anything you need that could be a swap? Quote Link to comment
george 1100 Posted July 23, 2023 Share Posted July 23, 2023 Maybe for quicker access to those variable timing rotor buttons 1 Quote Link to comment
Jdeac Posted July 24, 2023 Author Share Posted July 24, 2023 So any ideas to the maker of this cover?? Quote Link to comment
Blubber Posted July 24, 2023 Share Posted July 24, 2023 I know Woodcraft had covers with replaceable inserts. Could be inspired by their early design? Quote Link to comment

Jdeac Posted August 5, 2023 Author Share Posted August 5, 2023 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 4 Quote Link to comment
DAZ Posted August 5, 2023 Share Posted August 5, 2023 Looks good ,and gives the option to personalise it , OSS logo ,engine capacity , etc without permanently altering the main bit of the cover 1 Quote Link to comment
Jdeac Posted August 5, 2023 Author Share Posted August 5, 2023 Cheers. Not something I've done before. Like what you say about it could be personalised 1 Quote Link to comment

DAZ Posted August 6, 2023 Share Posted August 6, 2023 (edited) 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 Edited August 6, 2023 by DAZ Quote Link to comment
