Thanks.
The timer cover and AC face plate were also made by me.
The timer cover is aluminum, pocketed to accept the challenge coin.

Well Marine that's a fine piece of work. Wish I had the skill, but I might go to a machine shop and see if they could make me one so I could do something similar.

right now I am actually working on a catch can to fit inside the air cleaner between the filter and the carb..I am thinking it can have a shrader valve on the bottom to drain it..My breather lines (now) are inside of the air filter assy. anyway, I figure I could just put a small catch can on them with a filter in it and a vent on the top...any fumes would still be sucked into the engine, but it will stop the oil from being sucked into the intake..then every so often I can just push the shrader valve stem and drain the oil into a rag...I figure I can put the shrader valve through the back of the air cleaner body and no one will see it...the whole thing will be mounted on the inside backing plate for the air filter....

Sounds like that will be a really clean look, just remember, all that air (fumes) are oxygen depleted and will negative affect performance (if that's important to you).
