Yup, I'm desperate! After looking, calling and searching to the ends of the earth, I cannot find a clutch/transmission dust cover plate. I have an A12 engine bolted up to a 60 series 5 speed but at this point, I don't really care if it's the exact plate, just as long as it's close.
ANY HELP IS GREATLY APPRECIATED!

I have one you can have, but i'm in Thailand so shipping cost mount up.
If you get no joy otherwise then call me and we can see what we can sort out

Andy

I appreciate that.
At this point, I'm not concerned so much about the cost but the time; I have to finish this car by January and I'm hoping to have the motor in within the next two weeks. If there was a way for your plate to be on my doorstep in a week, I'd pay for it.

I'm pretty sure I have at least one extra. I'm in Vegas.

You'd be throwing me a life-saver if you did!

I've seen plenty of cars run without one if it's any consolation.

I'd feel a lot better if the car was fitted with one. I guess if I find an early "half" version I can always add it later.

Still on the look out for a cover plate and I'm willing to pay top dollar!

I was finally able to get out to the garage and check. I do have one but the earliest I could ship it is Friday.

Have you given thought to simply fabricating one out of thin aluminum. Make a cardboard template. Snips and a drill would get it done.

I also think it's a good idea to have a dust cover as well.

This is the dust cover. The other thing is a thick engine plate, which will affect your throwout bearing alignment



Only used when not using an engine plate

It doesn't help much beyond preventing a little bit of dirt accumulating in the bottom of the gearbox bell (dust won't get on the clutch since it's on the other side of the flywheel, and in any case is ejected by centrifugal force ...)
