Rallytwit Posted on: 2013/3/4 20:34
As the title says, I'm looking for an alloy valve cover for A-series. I know they are not cheap.

Make sure it gets a flip top lid for easy access
or 2 piece with only a few nuts to secure it then
doing tappets or adding oil is sweet

eg.

Some hard choices though flip top and clear would be interesting
Lexan MR10 is scratch resistant, heat tolerant and available in
grey, bronze and other tints.

The last Pic sample in grey or bronze see through top lid with
side hinges that dont protude over the cover and just 2 x 10mm
stainless bolts or hex headed bolts on the other side then
evenly spaced * D A T S U N * stick on chrome letters to
finish it off would be a treat even on a totally stock engine.
No oil lid required as the flip top makes it a sinch.

I do have a friend who does all my fab work that can make one but he always has me check for off the shelf stuff first.

I was hoping somebody might have one, I don't care whether it's an N10 one or aftermarket.
