Belt cover construction

[PlasmaParticipant @plasma]

Hi just bough a startrite mercury mk 2 bench drill and it's missing the hinged belt cover.

Ive seen a few photos but can't tell if it's a thick walled casting or a steel sheet fabrication.

Does anyone have a similar model they can look at and give ne an answer.

Hi Plasma,

I have serial number 66152 which looks identical. You are in fact two pieces short as the cover needs a back support as well on that model. It is sheet steel but I wouldn't have to try and bend it up at the original thickness! It even has turned in edges! Sent you a PM.
