I've been checking around and can't find anything on this side of the pacific. Does anyone know of someone that I could contact for one of these alloy valve covers?
Thanks
Ron

It looks great. I'll polish it up and get a nice coating on it.

 Re: 1400 Datsun Pulsar aluminium tappet cover
Very neat, I like it. y dad also used to have the Pulsar cover on his A14 he had in a little Mazda B1000.

A little of topic, but still on the pic, I see you fitted the thermo switch, how is she holding with the temperature now? Did you notice a difference in power/response?

 Re: 1400 Datsun Pulsar aluminium tappet cover
not bad, but i think the original blue painted tappet cover looks more kosher with the gx setup

True. My blue one that was on before this one was also color coded like the airbox.I felt it is a bit too much yellow.
Got hold of this tappet cover of aluminium.You would not believe what difference it makes with regard to engine noise.This tappet cover and a electric radiator fan fitted in the place of the mechanical fan really quiets down the engine.

Looks Nice! What color number is your car?

A12 engines are very quiet with regards to tappets. You may need a valve adjustment. If they are even 1/1000th inch out of adjustment they'll make noise.

That looks great. You have a very tidy looking engine bay.

 Re: 1400 Datsun Pulsar aluminium tappet cover
My car's color is #82358 Sunshine Yellow

Thanks for the good comments.The photo does'nt really reflect the engine bay's real cleaness. . I took this pic with my 2 mp cellphone camera.
Wombat_racing is currently looking for two.
This thing weighs about 2kg.
Cost is as follows:
R150 South African rand for tappet cover.
2kg sea transport to Australia=R118
2kg air transport to Australia=R334
I can look for you too boofhead.

My tappets do not have any noise at all. Difficult to explain with regard to engine noise. Maybe less harmonic noise or something but definately more quiet than before.

 Re: 1400 Datsun Pulsar aluminium tappet cover
smooth lookin ride GXman. Do you know what model Pulsar exactly this is off? Do you have a pic of the car to share? Is it the early 1981 N10 Pulsar front wheel drive or some other model, do any of you guys know if we have this Pulsar here in Oz qith this valve cover? Looks the bit.

@Datsun1200RallyCoupe
Yea, I think that is the one you are talking about.Not 100% sure but I think it is that one.The Pulsars here were also front wheel drive.Irretating winding sound when driving it. . There is some other guys that are interested in buying this tappet cover from here using a group buy. Will cost in the region of $104.83 depending on weight and exchange rate.

@kulula.Yip, it works fine.On a stock datsun temp sendor unit fitted to the cylinder head and stock datsun temp gauge 85C is about 1mm past the middle mark.Then the fan kicks in.At about 2mm below the middle mark is 81C because then the fan switches off. The temp unit switches on at 85C and off again at 81C.Was also a 1400 Datsun Pulsar thermo fan switch.

Don't worry, that red 90 degree bend piping that I used for the tappet cover breather is going to be sprayed black

I have the same rocker cover on my 1000 coupe race car.
A club member gave it to me and everybody ask what model car it came from ?
Question answered .
Great looking engine bay.

The eBay one is for the Bprojects alloy rocker cover.
