RV8 Rocker Covers

[gmw9666]

Just jumping over from the wedge area.....need to ask a quick question

the 4.5 BV lump in my wedge was rebuilt by JE Engineering years ago

I got chatting to JE when I was hunting for a bit of history about the rebuild

Anyhow, I found out they had this gathering dust on their shelf. Brand New JE Rocker Covers from the 80's, the larger / taller type to allow roller rockers

To cut a long story short I bought them as my plan is to put them on my road car (will look great all painted and polished) but wanted to know from you racer boys about "splash" plates

It clearly doesn't have any so will I need to add some is my question?

sorry if its a dub question

I was like yourself Steve was looking for a tvr branded set as fitted to the 4.3 Griffs etc (were those versions taller though? I don't know)

When these were offered I could not buy them :-) JE Engineering vs Mr Eales. But they may have been made whilst he was still there as they are that old lol
