Vintage Direct Connection parts. Let’s see em!

Is that an older version ? Or did the aluminum sidecover not get the reinforced ribbing ?

It’s thicker altogether than an iron one. There thicker reinforcement inside than an iron too.

My iron ones are put away to put side by side.

I think I have a production aluminum side cover too that’s much thinner than this one.

The tailshaft bolt flange to main case is slightly thicker on this than a OD aluminum tailshaft.
