does anybody have or know where i can get a left n/s side panel from (the black plastic one that fits below the exhaust) for 1977 175 enduro

Hi Col68,

They don't seem to appear much on EBay so a wrecker might be your best bet?

Hi Col68

You could try () they have supplied me with some hard to get DT twinshock parts in the past,

If you widen your search on ebay to "worldwide" you will find loads, particularly in asia.

thanks chaps will try all these suggestions

have been down all above avenues still no luck

Darren it takes time mate, the bike is old and rare now. you have to search long and hard but ebey is no doubt your best bet.

is it a 1G1 model? I will keep an eye out too

Hi Col68

As a last roll of the dice you could take a plaster cast of another side panel from another DT, then you could use that cast as a die to make a fiberglass one using fast a fast glass kit, you will have to use some release compound so the finished fiberglass casting will come free from the mould,

I have made some other plastic bits and bobs like this, I have done this before to make model boat hulls.

That looks like an earlier side cover. I couldn't see the '77 175 on the parts listing I use but the 250 and 100 didn't match that as far as I could see.

I have one from the '74 dt though so if it is the same I'm sure I could make a mould.

Have you been able to find an image of the cover that you need?

Is it the 1G1 twinshock model, or the MX monoshock model?
