Webb 2 Speed
Hi folks. Having a tinker with my Webb 2 Speed today and wonder if anyone can help with the following query please. The 'end plate cover' for one side of the cutting cylinder on my mower simply pushes on and pulls off. Would it have had at sometime 'pins/stubs'? that would have fitted into the three slots in the mower body area it covers? so that when the cover was twisted it would be held firmly in place? The cover on mine is extremely loose fitting and am wondering how best to retain it in place (A good dollop of grease maybe?). Thanks as always for any help/suggestions. Cheers. Rob

Hi Wristpin. Yes, you are right.There are indeed signs of dimples. Might try and build them up again in some way. Appreciate your reply, thanks. Regards. Rob

Thank you for your suggestion

Perhaps a bit more
Perhaps a bit more controllable . Small G clamp, nut inside and a ball bearing under the screw down bit to press in the dimple.
Thank you again Angus.

Looks like it may have had dimples to engage into the three slot bayonet fitting. Just a guess.
