 Clutch covers are common, but need to match your points cover, come in angled and straight.
 Starter are hard to find originals, they are being made again.
  I made a 3 point spinner thing that went on the three clutch cover bolts, with a tappet plug in the centre... cant find a pic.
 Fairly easy to make versus a finned one.

frank is right about the starter covers.  there is not one to match these.  the one with straight fins was a beck arnley, the other with slanted fins, matched a different set, name slips my mind.  damn, i miss my memory...

I saw starter cover with finnes going sideways. Don't like those.

That cnc cover are really nice but after good polishing on classic ones you will not see the difference expect maybe in your pocket :)

Thanks! It looks good and reasonably priced ;)

Done this 2 months ago. Road race up and down cut. Two degree angle just on contact parts of dogs. It is hard to take pictures of this. Really precise machining here with small tolerances. 0.2mm of material taken on lower part of dogs... For all gears..

You guys are getting pushing and confident of how much power you hold over this visionary engineer.  That is some machining porn on the oil pump body you are making.
Look forward to your scratching the itch many of us have awaiting your update. Thank you for sharing with us the inspiration.
