in the past few years we have had a few guys claim that they had the last one sold in the USA LOL
so put your flame suit on.
 
Yes, You can do it. MarkB did it and there was some instructions on it. It doesn't look very good, as it is a hack job to make it work. There are not a lot of options out there.

Yeah, the other option is just to contact Comptech (CT Engineering) and get one. I contacted them about a few months ago and they had 1 in stock. The part number is #351-010 and it retails for $1200
 
Yes, you can modify the OEM clamshell to fit over your CTSC. Their was a DIY posted with pictures. It involves cutting 2 rectangles out of the bottom shell, gluing a piece in the 2 openings (supplied by comptech or you make it yourself) and I think spacers might be needed for the hinges. I'll try to find the link to the DIY.

Thanks for all suggestions!!I already have Comptech Engine cover.I am wanting to try to modify Original Clam Shell to fit over S/C,so when Top is removed it is in the Clam Shell.Probably more trouble than its worth.Also wondering if somehow you could bolt just the cover of Clam Shell to the Comptech bottom, that already fits over S/C.Any help appreciated.

Anyone have this DIY article saved from Mark Bashe
