Reply to "WTB, engine cover, screen type for 1972"

UPDATE - I managed to mis-remember Brian’s‘ car. Instead of 5811 it is 2811

THEREFORE,

I’m not sure the Wilkinson reproduction bubble center will fit your car.

Wilkinson told Steve his reproduction bubble cover would need to be shortened for 2695,

BUT -

I do not think the length is the only problem to installing a bubble cover on a Pre VIN5001 car.

Brian’s current side covers appear to be the later style (not original to 2811 ) that used Dzus fasteners, which would be correct for the large curvature of the bubble center.

if the previous owner did not modify the side covers then the bubble center might fit.

but the mismatch between the side covers and the center cover rear edges still tells me something is out of whack somewhere.

Brian, I think you should remove all three sections and take a series of photos for us to study.

I just don’t want to see Brian start to collect side covers and screens if his current pieces can be sorted out for a correct fit
