Home made cowling packer.

[10 inch Terror]

After enquiring about cowling packer plates from a couple of dealers without reply, I thought I'd make my own from some scrap 4mm ally plate. Stands me in an hour of my time, and I'm happy with it to be honest.

Nicely done. I had a few of these made last year (still have 3 on the shelf). They come in handy when doing long rod motors.

Cheers Grumpy. I tried to order one, but couldn't get hold of one. It's nice to make things from scratch some times anyway.

You will have to go into production, should sell well

hi 10inch is this for your gt186 project and is this normal for the gt kit

Yes mate, but I'm using a longer stroke crank, with a packer plate under the cylinder. It's only 3mm higher than normal, but combined with the porcupine head the cowling is a bit too far of the mag housing for my liking. I could probably fit the cowling without it, but don't want to stress the cowling, or mag housing threads.
