From facebook AussieSpeed says they are going to be making covers for our slant soon.
These are Holden parts shown.

Hmmmm. It doesn't appear to have a cam button boss.

I wonder what problem they are trying to solve? FWIW, I would only be interested if you could remove a front piece to change cam timing easily w/o breaking the oilpan seal, or maybe even w/o pulling the damper...

Agreed, That is the biggest problem. Changing cam timing and not having a oil leak after.

Contact them and tell them what you need.
Or they will build what they want.

Or someone here with the skills builds what we need!

I believe Mark and Team Green made what they needed, as needed to their specs.

I would agree with others.

Get a Cam button and make it so that the cam can be re timed without pulling the cover off.

I spoke to them via FB and asked for the 2 piece cover.
They indicated that could be done since there is nothing finished for the slant yet.

That would get me to buy 1-2. One piece - why bother.

I agree. No real need for a one piece. Depending on price, I might be interested in one, two piece unit.

Life just got in the way. I got to the point of being able to get some samples cast and had some health issues creep up and just put that stuff aside. I am at a point now where I could dust that and other projects off and move forward again with them.
