Diy Clear Clutch Cover

Discussion in 'Builds & Projects' started by MikeBee, Aug 25, 2022.

  1. Being a fight sod, I thought I’d do my own clear cover. I sourced a damaged cover in case if went wrong for a tenner. I cut the center out carefully with a jig saw, I needed the cut out part for the clear template. I used 2mm acrylic sheet, warmed it up until flexible then carefully pressed it into the cut out center.
    Made a flange to sit inside the existing cover out of sheet ally and riveted it in. 4mm cap screws hold in place
    Only cost me 20 quid and after several hundred miles still looks fine. I like the fact that it matches the original profile of the cover

  2. Looks good. How did you seal the acrylic sheet against oil leaks?
     
  3. I used gasket seal, I painted the back of the acrylic red to hide the seal

  11. Very good although if the acrylic isn't U.V. resistant/protective it will yellow & blur over time.
