I've had that setup in both Tigers that I've owned...Only issue was in the
first one about 30 years ago. I decided to cruise down a gravel alley and as
I progressed, the tracks got lower and the  center humped up to the point
that the Lakewood was actually 'grading' the gravel down!! I guess some of
the small stones went through the holes and got thrown up in the pocket
where the starter nose is. The next time I tried to start the car, the
starter would not engage as there was no room for it to go. I ended up
having to pull it and clean out the pocket. Never had that problem again...
but never went 'off-road' again either...

Hi everyone. My Tiger has a lakewood bell housing and cover plate, i
notice it has 3 holes in the front of the cover plate. Is this for
inspection? cooling? It seems that it would allow dirt, dust and
moistureinto the flywheel, should i cover the holes?
