[DeTomaso] (Clutch) viewing hole cover

[JDeRyke at aol.com]

The color-coordinating covers are soft plastic. Buy one and drill it full 
of holes if you can't find a screen or have one made. Personally, I 've never 
run a cover or screen in the hole and am simply careful when fiddling 
around that area as well as the carb (when the aircleaner is off). 
Clutch ventillation is important in competition and it doesn't have to be 
road-racing with lots of clutch use; all clutches slip a little under high 
horsepowe/high torque. Slip = heat. Al Bloomberg punched several 1-1/2" holes 
in the flywheel cover below the bellhousing in his record-setting Bonneville 
Pantera, for flow-through ventillation. And some racing Chevys leave the 
whole lower cover off in their racers. Probably wouldn't work too well on the 
street in rainy weather, though. FWIW- J DeRyke
