If you ever tool up to produce the complete rear package tray they will sell quickly. I would have bought several from that cat in Poland if there was any way to get a hold of him

looking great !
Will there be smaller patches available, like only the dimples and possibly the rear corner?

Mika, are you talking about the 3 dimples section of the luggage tray ? How long were these used ? I need a right one for an early oval.

No Marcus I don't. My plan is to make repair sections for the sides of the luggage tray.

This generator is dated 12.42, so it's used for a 43. Cast iron pulley.

You mean with 3 holes on engine.
How about the generator pulley? I should have made my question more specific.
Thanks.
