Well, I spent WAY too much time screwing with this. The cover came out fairly well and will look even better if I spend some more time on it, but I'm officially burned out on this one! I could have my motor assembled by now, but couldn't stop myself once I got started.

Just posting for fun as I haven't seen someone do this yet...

Thanks...It definitely takes too long. In normal light, the polish actually looks better - but the flash of the camera really brought out the fine sanding lines.

Looks great .I like the oil sight glass in the old cases to. Even easier to see than the original. now get to work and make the case match.

Yeah, that's a pretty cover! I hope you don't plan on getting any mud on it!

I never knew the sight glass was at one time put up there. That must've been a retrofit to the original cover since the check screw is still there.

Oh yah, that one will get real muddy - going back into my X440s. That sight glass (not yet re-installed in the pic) is a kit from Canniboomer.
