Quick question

[atilamejias]

Hi, do I need some kind of cover for this?:
Thanks

Depends on the roads.... originally there was one, yes - and sometimes your flywheels will start eating small stones (which - I assume won't hurt these teeth too much). IMHO: get one or leave it open. Gets lost surprisingly often after gearbox removal.
ciao,

Yes, you should have a cover plate there to keep road debris out of the flywheel/clutch/bell housing. In lieu of having the original part, you could easily fashion one out of sheet metal, stiff carboard, etc. I is held by the 2 small screws holes shown in your picture (one seems to have a broken screw) and 2 larger screws, a couple inches higher and more outboard (one of which usually anchors a ground strap from the frame of the car).

I like Alvon's idea, I coud probably fabricate one with a sheet metal. At least one less worry while I'm driving. Thanks a lot!

Tanks a lot! Now that you are in such a nice mood, here's a list of what I need:

Just kidding. By the way, do you guys and gals have order parts form Rock Auto? Yesterday I ordered some pads and a caliper (great prices) and they shipped the same day. I dont know about the quality but the price was right! Anyway, the caliper is A-1 Cardone and the pads Raybestos.
