Jon, back when you and I were both looking after DFVs, I lost one of the hex stand-offs which fastened the aluminum belt shield to the front of the timing cover. A call to Cosworth (in Torrance at the time?) told me they had a LOT of them in both lengths; they were ~$50/ea. This is 1/2" aluminum hex, ~1.8" long, drilled and tapped #10-32 both ends, one end c'sunk.Jon Bunin wrote:Since the clamps are still available, new or used, Jack will do the right thing and obtain the correct parts
Can't remember the name of my sales guy there, but I told him: "No wonder you have a lot of them! You'll probably have a lot of them for a long time."
Seems it was a $10 order from Online Metals and 10 minutes on the lathe and a good time was had by all!
I'd still do that (pretty sure the material is over there). I wouldn't do it here, but there's still room for improv... (smile)
