I got the timing cover out of austrailia. Its one piece billet has has an intergraded dip stick. Comes with a timing pointer. Can be tapped for whatever water lines you want. Bullet industries i bdlieve is their name. It was like 400 bucks shipped snd i got it in 5 days. You can find them on ebay austrailia.
I have half of a shaft sitting on a shelf that i could part with. You can replace you center section with this one and it will be stronger. ill send you some pics when i get back to the house if your interested
Success is not bad. I got hasstled at kaweah last year on the waverunners. They ignored my wife in the boat but stopped me and even had me remove my life jacket to check for a uscg stamp of approval. That was a first. Not enough to scare me away though. Still prefer pine flat
