Bob,
I made one for myself and a couple for Huw Upshall, with pressure relief
pipes in them to help rid the crankcase of unwanted pressure. The
things aren't that difficult to fabricate. They are essentially a flat
piece of metal with the holes cut in the right place. You can use the
fuel pump as a pattern to cut out the plate and the holes.
The additional pipe for pressure relief can be added by drilling the
hole between the two bolt holes and braze in a short piece of pipe the
same size as those on the valve cover.
Regards,
Joe
