Template for dust cover on O16

[Robert Shepherd]

Does anyone have a template/pattern for a flywheel dust cover to suit 5.0L ford to 016 transaxle with RF adapter plate.
Thanks,
Robert Shepherd

If the plate pictured is what you're talking about, I just cut a semicircle in some sheet aluminum to match the flange on the oil pan and then put that in place and then traced out the shape of the adapter plate. Drilled and tapped some mounting holes and it was done in an afternoon.

Thanks for that Veek. My motor & trans are mounted in the car and it is a bit tight in there to make an accurate pattern. Fortunately I dont have much attached to the motor or trans at this stage and can lift the motor fairly easily to get at it.
