Hello

I know I have asked this before but it looks like 24v will have to wait until next year so Paypal waiting I need a good pair of rocker covers for restoration.. it must be S club motivating all this work..

Let me know what you have please.. would like to move fast..

Many Thanks

I presume you know that there are Alloy covers around for the V6?

Hi Damian, you're welcome to "borrow" these if it helps get your car together,



Don't really want to sell them but you could replace them as and when you have time to find a pair, scrapyards, Ebay etc?

Ally covers nice but rare (last pair I saw on Ebay fetched about £90!)

Sorry for butting in on your topic but, where do you get the alloy rocker covers from?????? I'm looking to refurbish/replace mine!

Ebay - here's a completed listing - look at the price!
More than an indicator!

I am speaking to a supplier at the moment that may be able to cast some with a TVR logo on - watch this space.

I bought some off e-bay a couple of years ago (think they were about £70 or £80) You will need to adapt your alternator bracket or at least persuade it to change shape just a little otherwise it will foul the top of the rocker cover (and I changed the fan belt for a slightly longer one). You can see from the first image how much I adapted the bracket.

They where a lot of work but I like how they look but then I guess they are not to everyone's taste.




I have ground off the Ford logo and placed the new TVR badge in place.

hi thanks for the kind offer I've been shipped out to Vegas for a week so lost 2 weekends so won't be able to get them ready for s club anyway so I may as well visit a few scrapyards when I am back.

i have a pair of alloy ones off a granada 2.9 that i squirrelled away years ago when my capri had the 2.8 in it still. i then fitted a 24v so never needed them. if you're genuinely interested let me know/make me an offer. they're filthy but as i remember they're usable and could be cleaned/refinished. i think i have a pair of 24v covers spare somewhere too!

ETA they're the same as these (pre-refurb, obviously!):

I'd not even heard of rocker-box envy until I caught it

Nice finish
