I've seen a number of these posts, I'm happy to know that it wasn't the DPO
who messed up the cover with a crummy patch on mine.
Thanks!!!

Subject: Re: What is stuff on timing cover?
I am going to say that this is a sound deadener that was original to all
TR's. I have a NOS TR6 cover with the nice, white bumpy stuff still on it
in
like new condition. I have no clue what it's make up is. I have made a few
weak attempts to duplicate it while restoring some TR's without much
success.
I also could not figure out why so many TR's do not have any of this
material left. It must get brittle and fall off after a time or a lot of
guys
have removed it during restoration. The TRA Judging Standards & Restoration
Guidelines manual for early TR's refers to it as a sound deadener that is
usually light gray in color.
Cheers,
Darrell
