These engine covers crafted with such love and attention to detail and appearance are amazing and impressive!

However for some of us mere mortals they seem rather intimidating and beyond our workshop skills to emulate them...

So to maybe add some balance and inspire others, here is my plain but functional effort!

I went for a very simple flat panel to maximise the coverage/protective function for the engine, but set it fairly high allowing lots of air flow and slanted to shed water towards the right side so it falls onto the exhaust manifold side where there is far less electrical stuff than around the inlet side.

I used existing fixings, just like everyone else and made it very easy to remove for checking oil level etc - just two wing-bolts (with shake-proof washers) into rivnuts in the support struts on the right side; left side support struts are a snug slide-fit into the inlet manifold slots. Finished with high temp black spray paint.
