Hi Guys

I have some confusion regarding gearbox front cover. the second picture is my gearbox cover with lever arm. which is cracked.
i am being offered the first one in the picture/attachment . which seems different , not sure where the lever/arm goes for new one to hold the clutch cable ?

I suspect its for a twin with the scissor clutch, there was no lever or pushrod.

Not sure which gearbox you have, but English covers will not fit Indian gearboxes, which may help you narrow down your search.
Indian covers have the gear numbers 1N234 raised, English covers are more rounded at the rear and the numbers are cast lower than the cover's surface.

I fitted an English outer cover to my 350's gearbox to hopefully reduce the flex when the clutch is operated.
They are more rounded and the edges don't match perfectly, but they fit and work - or mine did anyway.
