powder coated rocker boxes anyone, 2.8

[greymrj]

Just in case anybody is looking for some, these powder coated Cologne rocker boxes may help. Pretty sure they are for the 2.8. If you were to try to drill them for the 2.9 I suspect the powder coating would chip.

footprint looks more 2.9 than 2.8 but i'm no expert

Footprint exactly the same but for some reason the 2.8 has one less bolt hole, the "lug" is there (on alloy ones), just not drilled through.



hope I'm right or there could be a pair of 2.8 alloy covers for sale soon.



...Back home now, thought I'd better just check and yep, looking good all matches up a treat

There may be a problem with the filler/ breather cap fouling the bulkhead, on mine the filler neck is at 2/3 rds of the length along the rocker cover, not right at the end.
Just saying.

Edited because my stupid PHone thinks rocker should be "rocket"

Now it's showing a preference for "PH" instead of "ph".

Can't phault it

LIke the ones on Ebay in Greymrj's original post?



Mine is at the end similar to the "tin cover" in my picture above,I have some slight alterations to make and shall be carefully checking for fit and clearance (around alternator) before splashing out on some new powder coat....Blue and green should never be seen
