Hi all, I am after a water hopper cover plate for my Lister D, I currently have it connected to a water tank, I wish use the engine water hopper only. The cover plate must be in very good condition.

Hello Cosmo
They're sort after part those suckers. It saves making a cooling tank for the good old D.
I've made one before from some plate and round bar....but geez it soaked a lot of time up.

Cheers and good luck with your quest
Scott  :)

Hi Cosmo

A couple of years ago , I purchased a new muffler from Don Reid (Vintage Engine Spares) at the Pimpima Rally and noticed that he had new cast water hopper plates for the Lister D -( rough cast and undrilled )
You may want to give him a try -he may still have them?

Cheers Justin

Hello all
I talked to Don the other day and yes, he still has the hopper lids but they are rough cast as Justin rightly remembered.

Cheers Scott
