Clear timing belt covers for S4R

Wrider · 25-07-2019, 06:37 PM

Looking to buy some clear timing belt covers, or swap/px for my carbon ones.

I've never actually seen any for a quattro engine. I did buy some modified ones a while back with holes cut for the cam wheels and a bezel and perspex window put in. Inever got around to fitting them but only one was done the other one was standard.

Hmmmm.... Would you like to sell them? If so do you have any pics to hand and a price in mind? I just might know of a Monster that they would suit very well!

Havn't decided what im going to do with it yet, if anything. If i can remember which box its in the loft. Im not going up there until it gets cooler as its like a sauna up there atm.

OK, let me know if they need a new home!

PS. You are lucky. Noah has come to here visit for the weekend.

Very interesting Darren.
When you get round to digging them out, would you mind posting a picture please?
I am considering putting a window in a belt cover and I don't want to copy something already existing..

Ah Mr Gazza! Maybe you can launch another side project and make these to order? Just an idea you understand...

Mr Gazza · 27-07-2019, 11:57 AM

ANOTHER side project!!..

A place in Oz was doing these for the testa motor a few years ago. Might do others?

You got me a bit excited then Mr Gazza, i would have been one of your first customers!
Not too brittle/ heat resistant and non yellowing please, if you ever get access to the equipment again.

Sorry to get you all exited Damien!
This shouldn't be beyond the wit of an average High school technology student though. Lots of schools now have vac forming kit and 3D printing and so on.
Just a matter of selecting a good material for the job.

Actually the process would not be as simple as I mentioned above. The mould would ideally be the material's thickness smaller all round to be an accurate repro. But I think that just slightly enlarging the screw cut-outs on the form, with a Dremel or some such, would enable the screw holes to be drilled in the correct place and allow room for their heads.
Probably worth a try?

Maybe Ducati made them as a promotional thing?

They did these back in the day;

Rizoma used to do clear covers but pretty sure they discontinued 2/3 yrs back
