I have to have this part!

Saw this cover on YouTube from a guy in Italy. I have to have this! Anyone know where I can get one please? I have searched for weeks with no leads. Even Charlie Yapp was asking, but he doesn't speak Italian and neither do I.

Re: I have to have this part!

It goes on the side of the engine under the water inlet. Think they are made by a guy here in Oz.

Re: I have to have this part!

I would LOVE to have the 'part' as well. Let us KNOW if and when you can find it. Post in under the SAME heading, or - 'GOTTA HAVE this PART'.

Re: I have to have this part!

If you can make a wooden one you can likely get it cast in aluminum.
I know that sounds like a wild thing but I get pieces cast often in aluminum and bronze.
Harder to get short runs than it used to be …everyone is behind these days it seems

Re: I have to have this part!

Is there any kind of reaction when you use an aluminum side cover on a cast iron block?

Aluminum would react with stainless steel, but not cast iron – and anyway, the block should be painted, so the only points of contact would be the fasteners. So don't use stainless steel bolts.
