Custom Rocker Covers V6

[greyhulk]

So my rocker covers are looking rather tatty few spots of surface rust, i was after some of these



from http://jrcast.com/?page_id=79

but when i go to order it says 'breather hole size' just wondering if someone could help me out, im ordering for my S1 V6 2.8 a pre-christmas treat, has anyone ordered from this place, if so do they fit ok? easy to do yourself?

Cheers guys, yeah I did notice there's something running into the one rocker cover, hmm 25mm ill double check, would I need new rocker cover gaskets when changing them over?

@AndrewS2 they look really neat! did you get the sandblasted or smooth finish? (think it was extra ££)

yeah they are 2.8 specific, the yellow ones were just to show them with the 'TVR' logo on thats all. Im not confident about altering brackets.. chopping, reshaping, welding
ill see if i can get someone to sort them out for me in the near future (for some tea, biscuits may even throw in a protein shake & a few shillings )

thanks for your input as always gents

tempted to go ahead & order these right now, the smooth finish with 'TVR' logo looks great also noticed they come with stainless steel fitting bolts too, so would it be worth me having the 25mm breather hole already put in? there is an option on jrcast website on the dropdown menu

Yep mine came with the 25mm breather hole in and I bought a new rubber grommet which fitted perfectly. (Mines on a 2.9 V6 though). So will you go with the TVR and Ford logos like Andrews or the TVR V6 like mine or something else?

i shall follow suit & get the 'TVR V6' like yours, im putting off ordering them till next year (i think) as im going to get the alternator bracket modified first sometime in the new year, and ive had abit of a spend recently.. new gaz gold shocks & custom made cherrybombs

Hi guys, so i ended up going down & alternate route for the rocker covers, at a fraction of the cost too

zebra coded engine bay, i recon glenn would!
Yep sandblasted & powdercoated in a 'POWDER CHROME' finish at my local wheel place http://www.alloyrefurbs.co.uk/ thinking about getting my oz split rims done in a 'metal look' finish before the pitting gets worse hmm
Back to the rocker covers.. Tidies them up for £50 in oppose to £166 from jrcast and modifying alternator bracket, I should of bartered for £40 but the finish is superb so all credit to them

They look good Steve
A word of caution though: make sure there is no blasting medium residue left on the inside of those covers, especially lodged behind the baffle plates. Someone on here found a lot of grit in his engine, possibly as a result of this, prior to his ownership. Just sayin'.

Cheers glen, just checked the insides of them now, there squeeky clean
