Description
Overview:
The Fixing Stud for Crankcase Cover/Plate is a Genuine JAP part made from durable steel for securing the crankcase cover on classic JAP stationary engines. Designed for JAP 3 and JAP 4 models, it threads into the crankcase to provide a strong, repeatable fastening point for the cover or inspection plate, helping maintain gasket compression and alignment under vibration and heat. Supplied as unused vintage stock, it is ideal for restoration work where authenticity and correct fit matter. The robust stud design supports reliable clamping and reduces the risk of damaging the softer crankcase threads that can occur with repeated bolt removal. Suitable for engines used on older mowers, generators, pumps, and other machinery where JAP 3 or JAP 4 power units are fitted.
