A proper shape shroud. I'm not sure if and when they changed to the replacements we see now.

When were the later profiled ones introduced?
I have a NOS early shroud in the garage but not sure if it is correct for my late '60? If it is, I need to find the other side. Better look to see what side it is

I have a pair of the early ones knocking around somewhere. One is pretty good, the other will need TLC but will do.

Found my NOS one, its the offside.

The profile is straight where it is shown lying along the table, whereas the later ones are cut with a curved profile.
It's only the underside part thats different.

get a new one and weld a strip of steel,grind off and lightly stopper/hi build prime in to gain the required shape.
much easier than battling with rotted out originals ,

Mike Price of Miniworld from Bilston in the Midlands makes the early radius arm shrouds.
You can find Mike & Glennis at just about every mini show in the UK or tel 01902 353064.
I think there was 3 versions of the mk1 radius arm shouds in all!!!!!!
