Anyone know where I can get original racing style tin rocker covers in pale gold with the twin oil filler stacks? Were they twin on both banks Roger?

Re: Very nearly there now!
I don't know much about racing Cobras, Colin, mainly because they were all different and changed all the time! AC didn't build any racing cars (except one), Shelby did all that, and my principal interest has always been AC. The various varieties of covers with the XP-type twin tall breathers that I've seen have been made by the owners, I think - should be easy enough to do. I'm sure one of the race-replica chaps will be along to help, or you could try Falcon experts - they might know.OCD wrote:Anyone know where I can get original racing style tin rocker covers in pale gold with the twin oil filler stacks?

You going for 260-style side-draught Webers too? Would those tall breathers be allowed on a racetrack these days without some internal modification?

The cheap version:

plus 4 tubes, plus 4 breathers, plus a skilled welder

Aren't these 'handed' Migge? Wouldn't I be buying two with breathers for the same bank?
Have you seen the correct period caps for sale?

Re: Very nearly there now!
SBF valve covers are not usually handed, so they shouldn't be.
