Are all the closing plates the same? I found a drawing for an S2, will it fit a Twin Cam?

Are you talking about the plates which are screwed to the inner wheel arches?

On a TC, they are different front to rear.

If you mean the metal plate under the front (chassis to front compartment), they are different https://www.lotus-supplies.com/?s=Closing+plate&post_type=product

Here's one https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1szP1L6-cHpjrGMF2dAiyQrY_aR-ZWDJM

Something that is too often forgotten is that when Yahoo dropped support for their groups, Our own EuropaTC copied all files in the Files section and organized them. You can find them here: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1uOmTsXhIF3qlutvCvmY8sAaliwc8Rwbj

Remember that the closure plate acts as an earth for the front part of the loom, to the T of the chassis.
