Yes it was on the engine when I got it, I also have a spare one.

Could you make a perspex bell housing as it would be such a waste to hide all that shiny away

Mmmmm. Shiny

Very hard to get now. Hang on to them.

Not posted much of late due to other projects getting in the way but I did have some time earlier in the year so decided to get my finger out and fit my 13b. This engine had been rebuilt many years ago at WGT and never fitted but I was assured it had been regularly oiled and turned over. I got an inlet manifold from Australia, a lightweight fly from ebay, a Weber IDA51 from ebay, a limited slip diff from our very own Tool, a tII gearbox and starter from Ian, had a propshaft made at a local engineering firm (I could go on )
So to cut a long story short I fitted the engine, got it running and everything seemed great, I got it ready for its first run and then it started to run very lumpy and sounded like a bag of shit, no compression on two sides of the rear rotor
So back out it came and today I stripped the motor to see what damage was done.

Spot the deliberate mistake


How did this happen with no housing damage


So i better order some parts as I need to get this bridgy going.
