<VV> Plexi side covers

[Ron Hinz]

What is there to see?  Exhaust is clear and a slight leak wouldn't be 
visible and if there is one, you can smell and hear it so what's the plastic 
for?

Smitty Says;   Acrylic “plexiglass” becomes pliable at 240 degrees.  Heat 
under those side seals must get close to half again that after the engine is 
shut off.  Hot oil ,grease and gasoline would quickly brown the plastic.  On 
top of that you really couldn’t see anything of value through the plastic 
even if it stayed transparent.
