I found a nine-finned allow valve cover for my BN2. The original cap nuts will work to fasten it down but I've seen examples of knurled knobs that look better with the cover. Picture attached. Anyone know where I can find a set or something similar?

Go to a machine shop or do you know anyone with a small lathe , anyone with a simple lathe and a knurling tool could spit a couple of those out in an hour or less .

I have find it for my 100/6 - but exist also for 100/4$(KGrHqFHJEgFJ,MRDfgQBSZr4PtMuQ~~60_57a.jpg
on 100 6 catalog you can find also the indispensable rubber washers one normal flat washer can be added-avoid the chrome cup washers- I have my oil sprayed on underside the hood for longs time- only recently I have learned that cup washers NOT permit to the rubber washer one adequate pressure to the cover- and leak and leak and leak
