    I am looking at dust covers that mount to the bottom front of the bell housing at Year One (no photo available) and at OPGI. Year One sell theirs for $79 and OPGI for $26. Can anybody explain this? Am I looking at the same part? I would think they would come from the same manufacturer and be priced competitively. Does anybody have any experience with either?

    If you are inquiring about the 4 spd covers, Contact Mike@mrbuick.com. He is the one that supplies year one. His are quality repros. IF the OPG one is the same as the parts place sells they are a real P.O.S. Look in the repro section for a thread on this very issue. There are side by side pics on that thread also. So you can decide if you want a nice repro.

    For everyone's information,
    The manual dust cover that Mike reproduces looks exactly like the originals.

    I loaned him one of my originals to use as a display at his stand one year, and other then some "battle damage" on mine they were identical. Mine was from a 69-70 Stage 1.

    I bought one of Mike's. It's an excellent piece - you won't be disappointed.
