I decided to go with just one small gaudy piece in the way of a timer cover from Figure Machine. Props to the company for good customer service, fast shipping and a really well made piece.

Two surprised when I installed it.
First, my last HD was a shovel head, so, I was surprised to find NOTHING behind the cover on my TC103. It's just an empty cavity. Oh well, I guess guys like to add their stuff and HD thought this is a good place to do it.
Second, the fasteners were barely snug. They weren't loose, but I could have easily removed them with a small screwdriver handle and T20 bit. I put a dab of blue when I put them back. Just a habit.

I think I'll find some black allen head cap screws though.

 

looks good

 

I've heard about them they're near me. .didn't know they did this kind of stuff.

 

it's a stash spot...............................

 

First thing I thought. It might dry out......my Prince Albert I mean.....

 

That could have been a mistake. Only time will tell. I've lost count of the numbers on those screws that snapped off because they were tightened a little more than "snug". Slightly more than finger tight is all they have to be, without any help.

 

When I changed out my timing cover the screws would just barely be snug when I tried to tighten them too.

 

I didn't tighten them much more than they were originally. The dab was just fork that extra security (protecting nothing but a cover)

They're coming blackout tomorrow anyway. They need to be Allen head to match all the fasteners close to them.

 

I hide a million dollars in mine LOL

I have thought about stashing a spare key in there.

 

I'd leave the contrasting screws. It breaks up the black.
