OK, so if you drill out the two rivets and remove the decorative outer timing cover there is an inner steel plate that screws to the timing sensor lock-downs. Can someone explain the need for the two piece construction? Is there a need to "secure" the two philips screws by riveting the outer cover in place? I'd like to know if there is any reason why I shouldn't remove both pieces and replace them with a single CNC'd cover that screws directly into timing sensor lock-downs. Also, anyone know the thread size for the two INNER philips screws? Thanks guys... | ||

Clot- the factory rivets the outer cover on so that people are less likely to mess with the timing or it they do it is obvious to see. It is perfectly fine for you to replace the two with one CNC'ed cover. Not sure what a dealer might say regarding warranty issues but physically its fine. I would just put a dab of locktite on the screws. If I can remember correctly they are 10-24 screws | ||

Or you could just put a FLH turn signal biscuit over it. Drilled and tapped with hardware screws. (available in orange, smoked, clear or red)  | ||

Inner screws p/n 1601 are 8-32 X 1/2. | ||

At least on older models the inner cover was your base timing adjustment, and the outer cover was decorative. I think it was done like that so the outside cover would always be rotated correctly. |
