On the early MGB's with the inertia-engaged (sometimes called
"Bendix-drive") Lucas M418 starter, is there a cover for the starter drive
assembly that sticks out of the rear of the bellhousing? My 1967 Anglia
123E had a drawn sheet metal can that fit into the (cast iron!) bellhousing,
as an example, but the 1967 MGB I now own has none. The drive is exposed
under the trans tunnel to road dirt, etc., so I figure BMC must have fit a
cover of some sort, and it's just missing from my B. Thanks in advance.
