whats that catch can worth . is it made to fit a 1200

Anything can be done but its the same old story... the more work there is in making them the more expensive it becomes...

Ill try and draw something up just for some ideas this week.
I reckon a grog esky style design would probably work.
Simple hinge and clips on each end can still look the goods.
How cool would it be to flip open the top and just pour the
oil all over it without worrying about overflow.

On the very few occasions that I need to remove a rocker cover, it is because I need to perform some task on the mechanism inside, & that has ALWAYS required the use of tools, so using another tool to remove it hasn't actually proven to be a problem.

The design with a flat plate type removable top sounds trick, & probably looks pretty trick too.
Using an 'O' ring to seal it would overcome the difficulty of making a gasket & it would provide an oil tight seal.
['O' rings are often made from round section material that is cut to length & the ends glued in a fixture, so a specific spare part is not required]

This design appeals to me for its wank value alone, but it must be remembered that it involves the manufacture of two separate components, & this means a fair bit of additional machining which naturally translates directly into $$$$$$$.
The problem with this design might be that with the top removed, access to the valves for tappet setting may be restricted to a point where tappet setting is extremely difficult or impractical. It all depends on just how tight the clearances are inside the rocker chamber.

Good fortune with your design Topgear & I am keen to see how it turns out, however I already have an alloy one so I can not justify placing an order for another.

I'd buy one that looks like that

Just as long as they aren't too much more expensive than the aluminum covers (which cost $275)
