If your donor is a CT70 with a 3-speed auto clutch then the clutch (right) covers are very different. If it's a CT70H with 4-speed and a manual clutch then the clutch covers will interchange. As far as the left engine cover goes, they will all interchange with no problems. Im pretty sure it's the same part number up through '82 for all of the 2-wheeled Honda 70s. (ATC70 L&R covers are different, of course.)
