Does anyone have one of these in good condition please? I think mine must have taken a hit at some point and I’d like to get a better one for Sam to chromate and fit to my work-of-art gearbox as a finishing touch…
A bit of corrosion is okay, just not damaged.

Have you tried Mike Bainbridge at all?
Re: 915 gearbox magnesium cover plate
Good shout, thanks.
There’s a few on evilBay but I’d rather buy one from a fellow DDKer, especially someone like Mike…

Re: 915 gearbox magnesium cover plate
Hi Matt,
I do have a magnesium cover which has little corrosion. It does not have studs attached although it will take a stud in each hole albeit that there is not full thread on 2 of the holes. I think you would want to use an insert if that is possible, but look at the pictures attached. I have not cleaned up, but will do so if it is of interest.
Regards
Ian

Thanks for the offer Ian
However I think I will keep looking for one with the studs intact - a NOS one would be justified for such an incredible job Sam has done on my gearbox.

Re: 915 gearbox magnesium cover plate
No problem, yes a NOS would be ideal. All of the magnesium parts are getting rather delicate now!

Huge thanks to Mike Bainbridge for supplying a cover in excellent condition for an old magnesium part and for a very reasonable price, and for some very useful observations on my gearbox photos too!
