Anyone know if the original standard steel covers are still available. Alternatively, maybe some Swaymar one's that need a refurb..

er...no thanks. I would prefer the tin ones but if it has to be alloy, I would rather they were a little less bling looking, Sawymar, maybe even new Burton ones?.

Go to http://www.tvr-forum.de/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=13... and look at the avatars for Dutch and Macallan; they both have plain finned ones.

Too modern looking, if I go the alloy route, they would need to be less angular in appearance.

John, what you need are the rocker covers I have. I bought them about 14 years ago and they cost a fortune. I dont like the bling bling finned ones advertising other companies. These ones are very similar to the original shape but cast in aluminium with an aluminium "petrol filler cap" style filler cap, all "O" ringed and beautiful. I have has a look on the interweb and I cant find the company I bought them from, JK Engineering in Metheringham, Lincs. If I knew how to post a pic I would.

Got the pics Steve and they do look the part, sadly it all went wrong in the second sentance above. The race budget for 2010 needs to be realistic and won't stand some of the excess seen in 2009...

Thanks for taking the time though.

Cheers
John
