Spare Rocker cover for La11

Post by sp250boy »

Anybody got a spare rocker cover for a La11?

The collet on top the cover has just come off and I don't have working welding equipment at the moment.

one step forward two steps back :x

Hi, you have two choices, either send me you old cover and I can Mig weld it for you, or I do have a spare cover, but would prefer the first option really.

Cheers A'l :)

Hi Steve, it arrived today, and having cleaned it up, I have realised that the part that I was going to weld on is , actually made of Aluminium!
As I said in and earlier post, I do have a spare cover, but at the moment ,it is painted with Metallic Green Hamerite !!!, I could if you so wish, repaint it the correct colour of Lotus Grey if you like.

Cheers A'l :D :D

Hi Al,
I appreciate you doing that!

Let me know what I owe you; I will also keep an open on looking to replace your rocker cover.
I was just about to top her up with fresh oil and start her when the collect just came away from the rocker cover.

Thanks for your support
