    Hmmm. Thought it was just a fitting thing. Are you talking a cad duplicate? Can that even be done to be like the cast?

        The biggest problem with the original side plates, both early and late, is the ongoing blasting of the same spots for the last 40+ years. First prize would be to reroute the inlets completely and turn the side cover into a blank. Here is second prize:
