You need a tooltray Dom? Roo has a couple but I doubt they are cheap as they are as rare as hell. Most have the wire mesh rusted to hell as well so you need to replace that with some stainless steel stuff like Ted has

I just have an open topped airbox at the moment Ken but running a 500 filter due to missing so many of the 550 internals.  I'd just like to be able to close it off somehow as I'd imagine it will mess with the carb set up as it is

Good progress Ted. Why did you use copper rather than ss washers on the valve cover ? I would love to see a photo of those bolts you used next to the tappet covers on the front. Your engine paint looks great. I’m  way behind now - haven’t rebuilt my carbs yet. Looking forward to your first start up. 👍

Laverdaroo:
I've three or four left Dom but go to the states in the morning and back in December. I guess youre not in a rush but just to say Ive a few lurking if you need one. :)

Oddjob:
Need to be soft washers on the 6 central bolts David as they seal against oil coming up the bolt. SS would be too hard.

McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
Workshop manual or parts book shows the six bolts use copper washers. When I bought the pack I just used the left overs rather than SS. The small ones at the front corners are flange bolts.
