I've also modified the cover to accept the larger road going stator.
Drop me a PM or E-mail if you're interested in what I've used/done.

I fitted mag alt. and engine covers to my SP4. JHP told me that as long as I use a coolent and change it every 9 to 12 months, then it should be OK against wear. Comments or should I be afraid?
