The simple answer is “yes”.
At the moment it is “resting” after having a piece of Aluminium bonded to the outside of the broken casing with Araldite. Time will tell how successful that is. It could be 15 seconds, or less, or a successful bond that lasts ages.
When the cure time is up I’ll post some images.
The brand new item from Rimmers has an even more pronounced distortion than the one I broke.
It doesn’t help to see that the “nut” that the bottom is supposed to locate over is presenting corners rather than flats for the locating aspect.
The upper back half or section of this cover does seem to be able to rock a bit and may well be leaning towards the engine and again this doesn’t help.
Here are two images of the new one as received from Rimmers. I propose to contact them on Monday about this.
The gap at the corner will just take a £2 coin unfortunately it fell over before I noticed it when taking the image.
