Looking at these, and how cool they are, I was thinking, "Why not weld five or six half round pieces to my original cover, drill them undersize, then cut it off with a thin tool, tap the bottom, drill the top to size and put a gasket or RTV it back together?” Then I realize, MORE WORK. Don’t burn clutches up anyway. I just FINALLY got the bracket made for my PD/MZB coil/EEC. I don’t need to be making more work for myself by messing with the clutch cover! Look great though! Very nice!

Thats exactly where I left it Brute.

Motivation is a rare comodity these days.   with a pregnant crazy wife, and a 2.5 year old

When I get this done and all figured out, this will be a very easy mod to do as I will have the adapter rings available.
That is the hardest part of this project.
Remember, if I can do it, any half wit can do it.
I'm good with a computer and taking things apart but putting them back together?  :roll:

I have a spare clutch cover if you guys want it. It's been weld repaired from the infamous "rear brake lever stuffed into the side of the case" syndrome. I'll never use it. It would be perfect for a 2pc cover mod.
