Template for 550k side covers?
« on: May 10, 2013, 06:57:22 AM »
Hi all,

I'm hoping to make some custom side covers for my 78 550k.  Does anyone have a 2D template of the side covers that I could use to cut some flat plates to fit the spaces? I'm not looking for a 2d template that will fold to make the contoured side covers, just a 2d template with the same outside dimensions as the originals.  I dont have the originals to copy from.

Thanks

I could trace mine out if you're looking for 77-78 design. Did you relocate some things because I don't think flat metal will clear.

That would be great, thanks.  I've relocated the electrical gubbins, and i'm planning to use a ~1" standoff to make the plates flush with the outside of the frame.

Thanks

I could trace them. Then I guess scan them in or send them to you?

A scan would be great.
