Author Message   Phelan Posted on Tuesday, March 10, 2015 - 11:50 pm:        I wanted a different shape than most cuts. I always liked the S&S cam covers; I think they look beefy and muscular. But I don't want to pay $500 for one. So I gave mine a similar angle cut at the rear. I may try and play with the contours on the face as well but there isn't a lot of material to do so.   Ft_bstrd Posted on Wednesday, March 11, 2015 - 12:49 am:        I like!   Phelan Posted on Wednesday, March 11, 2015 - 01:13 am:        Thanks Jeremy!   V74 Posted on Wednesday, March 11, 2015 - 06:13 am:        That's exactly what I'm thinking of doing to mine.how did you cut it and how long did it take ?   Kalali Posted on Wednesday, March 11, 2015 - 07:53 am:        Looks like it came out of the factory like that... Well done.   Fxdrydr Posted on Wednesday, March 11, 2015 - 08:55 am:        Nice!   Phelan Posted on Wednesday, March 11, 2015 - 11:05 am:        I already had mine off so it took about 5 mins on the band saw and a few more with a belt sander.   S1owner Posted on Wednesday, March 11, 2015 - 11:49 am:        Looks nice make sure you look for any holes in the bottom some have a plugged hole from factory milling that will need plugged again. Here is mine I did it in place still have a little finish work to do   Phelan Posted on Wednesday, March 11, 2015 - 12:00 pm:        Yeah I do have a hole I need to plug. I'll get that done though .   Ft_bstrd Posted on Wednesday, March 11, 2015 - 12:42 pm:        The later covers lack the hole, don't they?   Phelan Posted on Wednesday, March 11, 2015 - 01:03 pm:        Yeah, my understanding is that only '91-'99 have the hole that needs plugged, but I could be mistaken.   Purpony Posted on Wednesday, March 11, 2015 - 03:17 pm:        looking good Ross- My 99 did NOT have a hole.   Phelan Posted on Wednesday, March 11, 2015 - 11:39 pm:        Thanks Marc; and that's interesting and good to know about the '99 covers.   Ft_bstrd Posted on Thursday, March 12, 2015 - 12:18 am:        I'm pretty sure my cover won't have a hole. We'll see when I get it back.   Oopezoo Posted on Thursday, March 12, 2015 - 07:14 am:        Can someone take a pic of this "hole" that needs plugged? I was staring at the cam cover from my '98 S1 (currently sitting on my work bench), and I can't seem to see any place that would breach inside the housing if I would cut it like the pics above. Just curious if I'm missing something or if mine is new enough not to have it? Is it the hole I see in the 2nd pic above, just to the left of the wrenches? If so, my '98 doesn't have that.   S1owner Posted on Thursday, March 12, 2015 - 08:20 am:        Yes thats the hole   Ft_bstrd Posted on Thursday, March 12, 2015 - 09:41 am:        My understanding is that on older models there was an oiling track that could utilize that port but it was covered with a knockout that gets city off during the cover trimming process. The result is a hole that most tap and screw a bolt into. The cover was updated rather than using the older cover. If I'm all wet, my apologies.   Buelliedan Posted on Thursday, March 12, 2015 - 11:37 am:        you are correct FT. If you send your cover to NRHS for the cutdown svc we take care of the hole if needed by drilling and tapping it and then including the proper size bolt.
