About this part

Small parts like this one fail on the details: the seal bore has to be round and square to the face, and the four lugs have to line up with the housing every time. We cast it in the same LM-6 as the body it bolts to, so both parts expand alike in service.

How we make it

  • Sand cast in LM-6 aluminium
  • Seal and bearing bore machined
  • Mounting holes drilled to match the housing
  • Checked against the mating body before dispatch

Can you supply the cover and the housing together?

Yes. We produce both in the same alloy and check them as a pair.

What if I only have an old cover as a sample?

That is enough. We measure it, restore the worn faces in the model and make the pattern from that.
