Tech/Engineering - Mechanics / Mech Engineering
Italian term or phrase: caranetura
"VITE Autofilettante ( fissaggio LCD e RSR426 a **caranetura** anteriore bilancia)"

Any idea what this word means? We are talking about a scale here.

Thanks to all!

Explanation:
I think "carenatura" refers to the structure that contains the device. You could use something like "case" or "casing".

I think "fairing" is only used for vehicles, but I'm not sure.

Sorry - just realised it was for a scale. How about "hood" or "cover"
