    hopefully you will get them.

    thats the trouble with this sort of thing including group buys, it always seems everyone want one, but when it comes down to it few actually part with the cash. but i suspect if you can fund a batch then any left overs will easily sell via ebay/facebook

    I'll machine them for you out of aerospace grade aluminium billet. I'll work out a good price if there's enough interest.

    Re: BDA look cam cover for ST170

    Just joined up the forum after discovering this thread.

    I'd be interested in a VVT one depending on final price, possibly without the Ford/Lotus logo if possible.

    Hi! Good idea to do it without logo. Just it is next cca 350,-GBP to make another mold for casting :-(

    Re: BDA look cam cover for ST170

    Did the plastic VVT cover ever get made? I was thinking about it today, and, the thought of hiding the VVT solenoid under a false filler cap popped up, how to fill the engine with oil would be need to be addressed.

    Re: BDA look cam cover for ST170

    I’ve been lurking on this site a few years, finally got my build to a good point. ST170 into MK1 Esc.

    I’d be interested in a VVT cover for sure. I have a 3D printer too, so let me know if you’d like me to print one and check the fitment. I’m currently dressing my engine so its out the car.

    See you around!

    Hi,

    I have a friend who has access to a mill through his work. Would it be possible to share the drawing to see if he can try and get us a decent price?

    cheers

    Re: BDA look cam cover for ST170

    Hi,
    thank you for your offer, but I´ll be clear. All that job till today to have it in CAD, ready for milling machine and with 3D printed model, was about 640,-€. Do you think I´ll share it?
    In about 2 weeks will be finished first piece (without VVT), if it will be OK, I´ll order 10 VVT and 10 non VVT...
    I don´t do it for profit, but I don´t do it as a charity either :-)

    Quite right to! As said, there is a lot of work that goes into prototyping & developing a piece that ultimately may have a really niche market. Even now with a 3D printed piece its proof of concept, now the CAD/CAM G code has to be created and a billet machined which will inevitably find some bugs, so a bit more money to waste before saleable items are ready. I don't envy your commitment - bravo!
