Ed,
My original (pressed paper?) TR250 gearbox cover had a cutout area around
the OD speedometer angle drive. There was a metal cover (lets call it an
inspection plate) for the hole. The inspection plate had a bulge that
provided clearance for the angle drive. The inspection plate was held by
sheet meatal screws into clips around the hole in the gearbox cover. This
inspection plate could be removed to access the angle drive. There was a
similar hole and a flat inspection plate over the solenoid.
Before I installed the plastic gearbox cover I cut similar holes and reused
the inspection plates.
I don't believe the inspection plates were used on non OD gearboxes.
I haven't seen the inspection plates listed in any catalogues.
