Cover clutch different on the first models Sandcast??

[4pots1969]

Hello,

Here is he seems to me photos of first model " type Early " of cover clutch Sandcast.
His thickness is incredible and its weight is 236.5 grs (8,34 ounces) by comparison with
the later cover cluth the weight of which is 115.3 grs (4.06 ounces).
His thickness was divided by 2...

He was not painted has the inside of material anti-vibration (style Blackson)
Apparently the chromium-plating does not have was redone and seems original.

Who has a cover clutch identical on its Sandcast?
Have you other informations? Thanks for it..

Greetings.

Hi Gerard,

here is mine, coming off #1983.

Wonderred, why it is so heavy compared to other covers I have.

Inside plain as yours.

i believe the covers with sound deadening liner were post-sandcast.
