Does anyone know (or can measure) the Rocker cover dimensions of the Triumph 1300/1500 as fitted to spits & midgets etc.
Not worried about the fixing hole centres, just the overall flange dimensions.

Now sorted. Thanks Steve
Was hoping that an alloy one could be modified to fit Reliant. Correct width but 1 1/2" too long
.
Might look into shortening one to fit, or perhaps getting some cast.

Had you asked Dave, Id've told you that!
The Reliant owners club had a limited run cast in ali. Very thick, (almost a quarter of an inch), & plain -no ribs. I had one on my last trike. Bought it through the owners club for 50 quid.

Knew it wouldn't fit without some modification but was hoping that it would be a bit closer.
The Reliant ones aren't exactly pretty and are very expensive if you can find one.

Why not cut it to size and weld out back together?

Thought about that and if I could do it properly it might be worth a try. I recon that I'd just ruin a £50 rocker cover. Looking into alternatives.
