Hi, Mike,
I believe all early Bosch distributors had this cover. It is shown in the Pagoda parts books but the Beetle and Fords had them too.
NLA, I think, unless you can find a used one...

I've always been under the impression only the 280 SLs had the dust cover over the distributor.... Can anyone else confirm?

I remember Bosch distributors from the 50's and 60's as having a metal dust cap under the rotor and from about 70 on as having a plastic one. I just assumed that most of them had been discarded by the time I worked on them. I currently have one of the plastic ones in my distributor.
