Is there anywhere in the UK/Europe that sells these? Found some in USA, but obviously shipping bumps the price right up. Something like this:

We used to have a link in Tech Help to BMW's parts list,this would have helped you as non dizzy equipped M20 engines have a blanking plate that you would be able to order via your local friendly.....

No BMW part will do the job. Non motronic M20s had the distributor mounted in the side of the block and a different timing cover.

you can of course leave the dizzy on there and let it act as the cover?

thats the ppf one, which is good if you want to run an actual cam sensor for sequential fuel etc but on the US forums they are a fair bit cheaper after shipping if you get in on a GB

I will do to start with, but as it is an m30 conversion the cap is very close to the rad, so would be nice to get a flat cover on there to gain a bit of space. Just going to run batch fuelling for now, not sure if I'll go for sequential but would be handy if I do with the cam sensor hole I guess.

Which other US forums worth joining upto, I'm just about to sign up to r3vlimited as that looks pretty good and have seen people selling the covers on there before
