Those hard to find TVR rocker covers

Yes the other side is a pain. You can undo the throttle body from the back of the supercharger in situ. Although one of the hex head bolts is hard to get at you don't have to undo all 4, you can swing it out of the way after removing three.
Cheers mateThought there had to be a trick...
So it's a dry joint then?
Hi Adam, they look lovely, I'm sure many would like a set of those 
! Out of interest, can you confirm what thread the filler neck / flame trap etc are as I can't quite see it on the tap in the photo. I've just had my rocker covers back from powder coating and the filler neck thread has been damaged by being half wound into threads full of blast media so I'm in need of getting a suitable die to sort it out and get it to fit again. Cheers, Andy

Thats the one!!!I have had interest in casting sets but I think it works out too expensive (if they are finished ready to fit), although less than a good original set going by what they have previously gone for on ebay.....the reason I did this apart from the challenge was because I wanted a set and couldn't afford it.
Materials, casting costs and postage I can do nothing about but the work involved in machining painting and polishing up the alloy bits to be honest would be better done by the enthusiast.....:-)
I'm happy (free of charge) to drill the large holes,tap them and the fixing holes as I have the jig.
I'd like to see them on cars, seems a shame not to make the most of this as they are now so rare.
Cheers

Im really interested in a pair, and have been discussing with Adam my interest. My only issue is justifying the cost of manufacture / shipping.Materials, casting costs and postage I can do nothing about but the work involved in machining painting and polishing up the alloy bits to be honest would be better done by the enthusiast.....:-)

I know Adam has put a lot of effort into these, and the finished articles are very good quality/ finished to a high standard, if only he was in the UK, or there is sufficient interest to justify a large shipment to reduce the costs, maybe supply them unfinished.

That's who I've used as the P&P price surface mail 8-12 weeks which is £40 approx. double that for airmail.

Any body on here win these?

Hi all,
Every where I look for a cheaper postage option ends up more expensive than Auspost :-(
$70 or £40 is the cheapest I can find single package 8-12 weeks.
Or a parcel 60cm x 50cm x50cm is about $300 but I'd probably get maybe 5 or more pairs in there
And thats 2-3 days.
I fitted the other rocker cover on last night bit of a pain on the sx but all good now.
Cheers
