I'm looking for a good pair of Hewland Side Plates that fit a Louts 51. These have rear facing ears and need to fit and MK8/9. Thanks.

I think I have a pair - I did own a couple of 51s 20+ years ago. One was renault box other hewland. I would need to see a picture to confirm these are correct. They are with an early VW case.

If Phil doesn't have them I do.
I will take them off the early VW case that they are on and take pictures tomorrow - looks like someone started a project and never got very far. $500 for the plates if they are ok.?
Phil
Are these the ones you are looking for? Not mine, but saw them on ebay

Ebay says these are forward facing. Mine are on the gearbox case so I need to check if they are truly rear facing as they look very similar
Phil
OK mine are the same as the ebay set. They were bolted on the early case on the wrong sides.
John, it says they don't fit a mk 8/9 further down in the ad. Only a 4,5,6. I would think the attaching bolt pattern would be the same as the all use a VW case, must be the axle or bearing size.

I have an NOS R/H side plate. PRISTINE, absolutely perfect in every respect. PERFECT.

Yes, I have the side plates. I'm in Bay City. I'll PM contact info.
I sent you a PM but am unsure if it went through.
You responded to a post I had in July or August about side plates I was looking for. Do you still have them? The ones I purchased unfortunately were not for a MK8/9 so they do not work. I am still looking for these but they must fit this gearbox. Let me know. Thanks.
If you can't find them used, you may want to consider new ones sold by GMT Racing.
Cheers, Joe
