Did it go between the outer cover and the timing case on the engine to stop dust and dirt getting in? There's quite a big gap there so I cut a bit of felt to go in there on mine. No idea if it was original though.

Think Andy's got it George; mine came with a piece of carpet in the same spot. Wash it out and fluff it up or get some old style carpet felt (woolen underlay). Not too snug on the shaft though George don'tget it dragging around.

Hi George
Your picture shows an imprint of a keyhole shape on the cork that would match the rear face of the timing cover so I agree with Andy.

It may be worth checking that you have the correct magneto mounting bracket. As the timing gears became wider over the years, the bracket gained more 'overhang'. If an earlier bracket were used then there would be a larger than normal gap between magdyno and rear of timing chest.
