You are right. I have spent many hours working on this cover. I am doing it with a small mill I have in the garage. If I were to do it again, I would weld some round stock on the milled case a to match an existing cover. Right now I have a big pile of alu.shavings and a sore back.

I didn't want to say anything earlier, but I am going to start making one this week as time allows.
Way to go Mike!  I hope you can get it done!  I'd love to have one!

Other then drooling I haven't even made it to the shop yet.
I probably won't get started today as Monday's are incredibly busy...

If someone has access to a CMM it would certainly speed up the process of making the model  :-)
Doing it by hand would take quite an investment in time  :-(

And I do........

My CAD program is getting a bit long in tooth but I can take the following formats:
IGES
STEP
ACIS  .sat
Parasolid   .x_t
STL

You might want to send me a test file so I can see if I can get it converted into something that I can work on.

Anyone who abuses a kx500 clutch enough to require frequent clutch plate swaps and warrant the need for a 2pc cover has got my vote as god...

I give you guys credit. Bling like that IS cool! When ever I have done a project that involved, usually someone says "All you have to do is put a flange on it." My mouth usually opens to give them a run down on all the work involved, then I re-think it and just smile and say "Yeah." They probably have never done something like that or just do not have a clue. Either way, not worth my time to educate them. Looks like a good start. You have a ruined cover! Now you HAVE to do it!

Yeah, that cover had a bad dent in it that needed a repair any way so why not go for it?

Nope, but really close :-)
It will be machined down but I just wanted to get a better look at what I was dealing with and I'm impatient...

I will take a pic of mine. It looks the same except for 6 tabs on a flange around the outside.

Excellent!
Any pics of the two piece covers I'm interested in.
I used to be able to pull up several from this site.
At one point I took every pic from this site and combined them into one post.
I think after the recent trouble I think all those pics went bye bye  :-(
So yes, POST YOUR PICS so I can steal them all  :-D
