I seem to have lost my flywheel cover at the Gwavas Tuff Truck.
Would anyone have one or know of one I could buy. Is to fit a FJ40 with a 350.
Thanks Malcolm

Hey man, you can buy them off that dude on trademe, V8parts is his name.
Ask him for a plastic universal bell housing cover.
Thats what i did for mine with the 305 Chev and Turbo 400 trans.

its not that easy beercruiser.the bellhousing in yours is out of a mid fifties chevy truck and the covers are like hens teeth to find.we made the back half of that one from some sheet steel by copying mine .the bottom bowl piece is the hardest to find and really hard to make (ie near impossable) sorry to burst your bubble

only worth putting on if you want to drive anywhere apart from the supermarket.as soon as you hit mud without one its only a matter of time before you lose your clutch .normally when you are window deep in a bottomless bog in the middle of a track

Nah, just get some card board, scissors and some tape.
Make a cardboard mock up of what you want, then make it up out of panel steel.
It can't be that much of a strange shape can it?????
