Rocker Covers

[WOO5IE]

Hi guys

Just bought a pair of TVR Rocker covers off Fleabay. I have assumed possibly wrongly that all are the same size. Am I right or just wasted my money.

Has anybody cleaned and painted their ' Rockers' and what did you use

Nothing too personal!!

AFIK the EFi ones are all the same (3.5/9efi), earlier carb ones and later P38 (4.0/6) are not. The nicer TVR's have alloy covers with TVR cast in (and have a bit more headroom for RollerRocker devotees), the plebs are just std LR with MaxyP stick on badges There are a couple of optional screw in oil filler necks IIRC.

Thanks Spend

As long as they fit I can at least paint them and just use temporarily whilst I refurb my originals if they are better . The seller did say TVR rockers but then it was Fleabay.

I can then resell at a later day if need be.

Are all TVR rockers Alloy ??

So, it was you who bought them (the sandblasted ones?)I thought about bidding. They are standard RRover ones the same as those used on the TVRs - not specifically TVR ones. Just etch prime them and then paint with heat proof paint - use a window scraper to remove the paint from the ribs once it has started to set and then block sand and polish them once the paint has fully cured. These should be direct replacements for your originals (on a serp engine anyhow)

Yes it Was me.

The seller has told me they come off a V8S.

Very occasionally proper cast (cast with the TVR logo,ex RV8 tuscan racer,I think) turn up, I think they are quite rear (I looked for a couple of years for mine), but if you can find some they look great

They were standard on most 430's and early 500's

They polish up nicely when stripped too

I must admit they do look fantastic. When I see a manky pair of covers as fitted to most TVR RV8's I smile inwardly to myself
