WTB '55 case part /help

#1 Post by Robert Brocker »

Hi,
My shipper has lost a box and now I'm missing a piece of the 3 piece engine case..
It is the driverside that is missing and the other two are stamped 531, see photo.

Does anyone know if a 55 -56 piece fit, or is there someone with a (leftover) case part?

Thanks in advance!!


Small introduction, I'm Bonno Beths and sometimes I will post or ask some questions for Robert.

Ohh, Bonno. If your shipper has actually lost the left side case half you seem to be referring to, you are in some deep do-do! Although it is possible to match mis-matched case halfs with some skillful machining, you're talking about a valuable old car that will have a cloud over any future "numbers matching" claims. I hope you had good insurance.

Thanks yes, we are aware about this. It will be difficult, but we never change numbers.
