Hello everyone,

I need a bakelite spark plug cover for my LD10. Does anyone have any spare one to part with?

Amitava ,
these bakerlite covers were not that strong being made of bakerlite so not many survive , have only seen one sold which made a lot of money.
I have thought of making a mould from one i have which i need to repair before this could happen , this would allow more to be made from resin so a copy of the original.
If you could find a original one you will be more then lucky i wish you luck.
Peter

Thank you Peter,

I have noted your point. I have borrowed a sample from a friend but stuck up due to this Covid-19 issue. Do you have a pair of those front wing embellishers for the Briggs body and the shortest body trims on the pillar A? I need these.

Please help.

Amitava

I'd likewise be interested in acquiring one, a replica might even be preferable in fact.

I have made a pattern using the original sample sent by my friend. Some corrections are required to make but this is my only option.

That looks like a very good pattern, all the same. I was expecting to see a silicone mould, it looks like you've actually done it the traditional way by carving out of wood? Very nice work.

Out of interest, how long did it take to make that ?

The one sold 2017 made £163-00 plus postage even then one owner on here went to £120-00 must have had 2 more bidders, so that is 2 sold on ebay in the last 10 years as far as i am aware how long until we see another.
