Hi,
Iam currently converting the motor for my cutdown to direct air cooling, scoop under barrel etc. I have modified the mag housing and am planning on making a suitable flywheel cowl. so far so good, however i am a bit stumped as to how to fix the cowling to the mag housing.I have seen race machines with this conversion but the cowls are fixed with what looks like several jubilee clips joined together around the circumference. my question is: is there a better way of doing it? Any advice, especially with photos, would be very appreciated.

Many thanks,in advance,
Jaffa.

Did you make this? If you did what's the cost as this is also something I am after!
Is it fibreglass or spun alloy?
