Are you looking for something like this Aluminum, ribbed timing cover for a 235 or 261 ?

I bought one last year. It may be the last one that the retired machinist made. This is his web address: http://sevengems.net/aboutus.aspx

Gentlemen;

I had a long talk with Roy, from Seven Gems, in Washington State today.

Basicaly it Its the same story here too.

The cost of material and the labor involved is just to great to make them today, for our small market.

If you look on e-bay you'll find chrome ones for around $25.

Happy trails.

i went ahead and had my stcok one powder coated thanks for the help.

any one know where a good place is to find a nice looking therm. housing

There on e-bay too.

You need to be careful though, sometimes they don't have the Machine work done inside.

Good luck.

I just heard of a N.O.S. un-machined McGurk being purchased recently. I'm trying to get the guy to have some cast off it, and then sell them off. I for one want one, thought you might want on too. Anyone else, so I can go to him with a decent proposal?

Hoyt,
That's a sweet piece. It's a shame it's nearly invisible once installed. How much did it cost and did you get any more goodies from him?

Mark,
My understanding is that the mold needs to be approximately 10% bigger than the pc. to allow for shrinkage. I don't think a sample pc. will work to make copies of cast parts.

Has anyone approached Patrick's for this item, he'd be the only vendor that could get these mass produced at a reasonable price. He's been popping out the Wayne stuff for decades now, give him a call!

I do not (or at least I don't want to) remenber what I paid for the timing cover. Roy did not have anything else that I was needing.
