Machined Inner clutch cover for dry Clutch engines pre @2003. 900SS, M900 etc. It's in good condition with a few storage and use related marks. The earlier version of this one: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/38776541...9S8aA==|tkp:Bk9SR5TymreCZQ&LH_ItemCondition=4 £125 collected from Clanfield Hants, or £130 posted within the normal UK limits. .
i did a little research Simon but still won't "stick my neck out" as might have missed a few subtleties that i'm unaware of - what you can do to help, is to zoom in or add the date (month and year) of manufacture contained in shot if it's still legible, within the casting.
Chris Thanks for looking at this for me. It’s strange but when I raised the thread about the differences in inner clutch covers: https://www.ducatiforum.co.uk/threads/inner-clutch-covers.101665/ And started to try and work out what was going on, I soon realised that some covers had a lot of information as casting marks, and some had none. It appeared that later covers were more likely to have the marks than earlier ones, but that wasn’t always true. The one I have advertised has nothing: A couple of Random ones from Ebay show that this one advertised as 748/916 has nothing: But this one advertised as 749/999/998 does have the info: And also this one advertised as for a 1098: Obviously I can’t guarantee that the advertisers of the above have got the models correct, but judging by what I discovered in my thread mentioned above with regard to the inclusion of additional ports, drillings etc, the timeline would appear correct.
this is the date stamp area Simon, it's quite a common Italian thing, I rather like it. As I say, it may not be legible for various reasons, it can even be redundant on other manufacturers and just show the raised portions without anything else applied, but normally the year is in the middle and then the month is marked around the periphery.
It does look like a Number 8 in the middle, I'm assuming 1998, with 11 dots, November, around the outside:
that's a later dating system than I am used to, if it is indeed a manufacturing dating stamp, I will have a swot up
