Default I have to have this part!

Saw this cover on YouTube from a guy in Italy. I have to have this! Anyone know where I can get one please? I have searched for weeks with no leads. Even Charlie Yapp was asking, but he doesn't speak Italian and neither do I.

It goes on the side of the engine under the water inlet. Think they are made by a guy here in Oz.

I would LOVE to have the 'part' as well. Let us KNOW if and when you can find it. Post in under the SAME heading, or - 'GOTTA HAVE this PART'.

If you can make a wooden one you can likely get it cast in aluminum.
I know that sounds like a wild thing but I get pieces cast often in aluminum and bronze.
Harder to get short runs than it used to be …everyone is behind these days it seems

Is there any kind of reaction when you use an aluminum side cover on a cast iron block?

Aluminum would react with stainless steel, but not cast iron – and anyway, the block should be painted, so the only points of contact would be the fasteners. So don't use stainless steel bolts.
