Wedge Under Bonnet Pics

Thanks Ziga. I've just pulled the RH rocker cover off to compare with the steel one. Guess what, the securing holes don't match. Lucky I decided to fit the alloy ones during the rebuild. Anyway both covers inside have a baffle/ guard over the hole but the steel cover has a rubber gromet with a check valve in the pipe union. As you say it should be too much of a problem to enlarge the hole in the alloy cover and fit the check valve, then connect to the plenum. Problem solved? Or am I being to confident? Won't be able to "Wesley" over the weekend, windsurfing again now my broken toe as healed. Probably will be in A & E by Monday Cheers Mate, John C.

...Although it might be a simple thing...I just know it wasn't with a blower...

Thanks Andy/Zig. Yes, I was very surprized to find my other set of tin rocker covers not matching the alloy ones. Begs the question are the heads original given the plenum connection? The check valve is lightly loaded so when plumbed into the plenum it should keep a slight negative pressure in the system, no turbo Ziga. I've yet to research a battery but the space by the brake servo is not big height or length wise so its a matter of what will fit with the largest CCA. John C.
