Why Choose Genuine DAM Quick Parts?
The 101-158 Side Cover is more than just a lid; it is a structural component that keeps the main gear running true. Using an improper or damaged side plate can lead to gear misalignment ("gear buzz") and accelerated wear on the pinion. Restore your Microlite's "tank-like" solidity with this authentic replacement part.
