    well i am flabbergasted I have owned both the stag and the dolomite and never noticed the depth of the front chain cover, just goes to show you learn something new every day.

    And today I are mostly learning about cam covers

The hole for the oil filler was stamped out after pressing so could be done on either side. BL cost cutting I was told by the engineers at Triumph.
      Interesting, but that would imply that only one cover would have Triumph upside down, both of mine are. Any thoughts?

        Typical BL quality control. Why bother to look to make sure that the covers are in the press the right way round when you can just chuck 'em in any old way and get a few extra done per hour? Bet they never thought we would be discussing this 30-odd years later.............

              Hi There

              Dave Hoskin has sent your post in for inclusion in next month's magazine Forum Section.

              Is it possible for you to take a picture of your cam covers, as this is a very interesting point you have raised, and one better illustrated with a pic.

              Send them to me at editor@stag.org.uk as hi-res as possible

              Thanks

              Emrhys

                Hi Emrhys

                Iwill take some pics this weekend and try to upload them onto the Forum for you.

                Ihave not done this before so am not sure how easy it is to do.

                Apologies for not responding sooner, but i was away last weekend taking part in the Club Triumph RBRR 2010 run. we were one of three stags that made the start and all three of us finished the event.

                That and catching up with work since we got back have prevented me from finding time and daylight.

                Hopefully i will get chance on Saturday.

                cheers

                Sean

                  Hi Sean

                  Thanks for that.

                  The easiest way to get them to me is just attach them to an email direct to me at

                  editor@stag.org.uk

                  I can take any size files.

                  Take them as hi-res as you can. 1Mb+ is best, but 500k is just survivable.

                  Thanks

                      Chassis number LD242.O here...no reason to doubt provenance of cam covers - deffo Mk1 - three pronged oil cap.

                      Both stamped the same. Passenger side correct (i.e NOT as DJT's picture), Driver's side upside down.

                      Never noticed before ...
