What's this going to look like? Intrigued:thumby:

I guessed people would start wondering what my plans were once I started getting painted parts back . All will become clear ;-) ............

Clutch Housing Cover BM- 11.14.7.700.331
Operating Shaft BM-21.21.7.700.306
Clutch cover lower needle bearing (sleeve) for shaft BM-21.21.7.701.501
-ditto- upper BM-21.21.7.700.120
Shaft seal BM-21.21.7.700.173

Well that's what they were when I did a couple in 2016

You can get away with modifying the shaft if you are handle/gentle with a grinder or a lathe.......

"All of your panels have been repaired as required , put in to plastic adhesion promoter and then had primer and wet sanding . Top colour coat them lacquer will be completed this week"

i found them almost by accident as they had a RHS generator cover on eBay for sale at a third of the RRP . I bought it and they delivered it within 3 days via DHL - so my experience with then is very good all be it not buying direct off their website but via eBay . When i emailed them to ask about the item I got very quick responses so they do seem OK . Hope this helps
