Gents

After getting my gearbox back from guessworks I've realised that these two holes need to be covered... I'm not running a speedo drive so I know one would normally have a cable coming out.

Is there a plate available I can buy to put over the end one? Or should I try and make some plates?

I just made a plate up to cover mine, kind of a tear drop shape.

I have a patent pending though! *hehe!*

If something is worth doing, it's worth doing half of.

Just a flat plate with a single bolt, and I used that funny kinked fork shaped clamp too that held the original speedo drive in.

Use the gaskets as a template and cut out some flat sheet. spunk up and bolt on, job's a good un.
