Timing Belt Cover

Post by EVL GEM »

Hey guys,

Seeing that my lower belt cover has been chewed out, I got thinking... Could I trim down a D1 / E1 lower cover to fit the C1?

It's rather hard finding someone who wants to part with that cover and is not in the same state as mine :p

I think so - someone wanted a cover (C1?) but converted another.
Can't find the post/topic/forum, but I have the emails.
PM me of you want.
Otherwise it was a post on OzGem, HoldGem etc earlier than 27Sept08.

Addendum: It was bad 44u in urgent wtb timing cover "wtb timing cover"

Thanks for the reply matey.

Im just after the plastic trim that sits externally to the crank, waterpump.

It seems common for the belt to gouge into the cover so I was thinking, could I use another model's cover but trim it down due to the C1's shorter block?

Seems a little MacGyver, but i'd rather trim than plastic weld, f-glass.

They all get cut out usually and finding a good one will be hard, chuck it away, you don't really need it after all and it makes it easier to clean off the oil leaking from your front crank seal..it is a piazza engine after all LOL :finga:
