Im after a pair of used rocker covers to have a go at polishing. Plenty for RV8 ones sale on e-bay but do I need specific model or type ?

All injected RV8s have the same rocker covers.

The older carb'ed engines had a different style with the oil filler cap flush rather than a high neck.

All will fit the cylinder head. The oil filler extension can be added. Some of the older manifold have large breathers, not all have the breather filter that the EFi covers have. However nothing is insurmountable if you prefer the rounder covers from the P5B, P6, early Range Rover etc, you can make them work. Likewise the P38, Disco II style will also fit with a bit of creatively.

I have a polished pair. I took them off and replaced them with chrome.

Make me an offer. They are sitting in a garage in Worc.
