Description
Overview:
The Bearing Plate (Drive Side) is a genuine JAP component for the JAP 4/2 petrol engine, supplied under MPN 14605/1. Made from robust metal with a precise machined finish, it supports and locates the drive‐side bearing to keep rotating parts correctly aligned for smooth, reliable running. Supplied as unused old stock, it retains original factory specification and fit while showing possible storage patina such as light tarnish or dust, typical of vintage parts. Ideal for restoring or maintaining JAP 4/2 engines (also known as JAP4/2), this plate helps preserve performance and extend service life by maintaining correct bearing seating and crankcase geometry. Suitable for professional workshop rebuilds and careful home restorations where an authentic, precise‐fit part is required.
