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!

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

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...

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

Or maybe not? There's a limit to what I can do with MDF and super glue!

These Oz ones that Damien linked to, look like something vacuum packed in a super market!

Which lead me to thinking that it would actually be quite easy to Vac form some.

A simple process of taking a mould from a set of covers, then casting a set in resin from the mould. then vac form with appropriate material...Shame I no longer have access to a vac form platen.

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;
