Crappy engine casings

Hi all,

I binned it down a lane the other day and cracked my clutch cover when the rear brake pedal lent into it. Upon removing it I noticed that the casting is really crappy and has quite a few cracks in it:




I then looked on eBay and found a used MT03 one that looked just as bad on the inside.

Is this a common thing? I bodge repaired mine with some JB Weld for now but I'm going to CAD it up and CNC a new one out of billet because I now don't trust it in slow speed falls. I'll also be making a folding rear brake pedal and possibly making a GRP casing protector.

Would anybody else be interested in a billet CNC'd clutch cover? Doubt it'll be too expensive.

Cheers!
