>In restoring my '58 1500 to original condition I also looked at this
subject. I was not able to discover any photographs of covers over MGA
starter ends in all my researches even though there are certainly three
threaded holes available.
>
>However, remember this engine was used in many other BMC vehicles over the
years, albeit in less powerful form. I have discovered a picture of a
Magnette engine with a cover fitted and I recall seeing somewhere that it
was made of rubber.
>
>The final word (as far as I am concerned) is that no cover is shown or
listed in the official BMC MGA Spare Parts Manual.
