OK original or new reproduction wanted, OR sell the project.

One Sweet Set Up Layden!

Hank

I saw the completed setup on an engine at gaslight in Urbana years ago, do not know if it is still there, cool looking, was wondering how it performed?

Anyone have a pattern to cast the top cover?

Call and talk to Bob Maconel at Gaslight I have seen one there maybe he would loan one?

That is way cool

Layden I believe if you could not find one to re-cast from, you could take a reproduction overhead valve cover and add as required. I have had to do this on many projects in the past. Just throwing out some possible options.

Hank

Maybe you can still contact the guy who was making the reproductions from an older post.

Different animal , Ed. Hank has it. Only problem is an original will pop up as soon as you make one. ..........that has always been one of the coolest fronties ever made, IMHO

Here is a shot of a CAD model for the cover:

I just asked wifey if I could take that pile off Layden. I’ll let you know what happened when I get back from the emergency room.

Tim is a perfect example that it's never too late to learn. Ask for forgiveness; not permission! lol

That 3D model is the first step... all you need now is a foundry that 3D prints sand, or a CNC mill and a big chunk of aluminum

Photo of Jerry Sherman Jr's booth at Bakersfield a few years ago. At the end of the table are 2 SOHC cover castings. You might check and see if he still has one or if he has the casting pattern.

Looking for FRONTY SINGLE OVERHEAD CAM. COVER AND ANY CAM TOWER CASTINGS, would be happy with older reproduction parts, anything would help me in Australia. Thanks.

Any Luck yet Layden ? ( LUCK = Laboring Under Correct Knowledge ) - Dusty

I found what I needed! No leads on another however.
