Hi All,
I have a friend that has a nice set of "Cobra Le Mans" rocker covers on his BRA Cobra Rover V8 engine. He advised me that he bought them from guy who made small batches of them on one of the Cobra forums several years ago.
Can anyone help supply of a set of these covers, or put me in contact with the guy that makes them?
I have tried John Redmond but the covers he supplies are not quite as nicely styles as the ones by friend has on his Cobra.
Many thanks,
Kevin

You need to buy steel adapter plates to mount Ford rocker Covers.

I think the JRV8 is the person Kev was referring to.

I have contacted John Redmond (JRV8) and got a price for his rocker covers. However, it wasn't John that made the Cobra Le Mans rocker covers my friend has. His covers look much more original than the ones that JRV8 offer.
I will keep searching.
Thanks for the help though.
Whengparts.com are the cheapest suppliers of the SBF-to-RV8 and SBC-to-RVC rocker cover conversion plates at £60 per set (including fixings) + £10 postage within the UK. Much cheaper than the items offered by Europa Spares at £156 (Ouch!)

What price are Gerry’s at Hawk Cars.
I can’t find my receipt to be able to quote but I think they are St Stl.

Thanks Peter C - I didn't realise that Gerry offered Cobra style rocker covers. I will contact him to find out more.

CORRECTION- my adapter plates are not St Stl. Checked them with a magnet in the last couple of days when investigating rocker cover gasket requirements.
I only got the adapters from Gerry. The covers came from Real Steel. £125 pr but it was a few years ago.
I know they were cheaper than Europa.
