Rocker cover makeover/ Or B/S your neighbour

Post by choppedfan »

I've been looking for a twin breather alloy rocker cover for my grey (Still Looking :( )

Anyway the other night in the shed I thought I've got plenty of old stock covers sooooooooooo..................... :twisted: :twisted:

I originally thought I'll make a twin NASCO breather (ultra rare :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: ) but now I think I might leave the centre one there :? not sure yet. The centre one sits a little higher but when I put it on my dummy engine it looked ok, I'm thinking painted grey with black breathers maybe a pinstripe or two and see how it looks on the ute's engine with the triple carbs.

Oh yeah the bit about telling B/S to the neighbour, he came over and spotted the triple cover on the dummy engine and asked about it. I told him it was off an old grey powered altered that used to race at Riverside :wink: :wink:

P.S. It does clear the rockers.

Funny that you did that as I have been contemplating in last few weeks doing the same but using three grey breathers on a red motor.
I can't think what to write here so this will do.

Similar theme grey breather on a red motor, saw this at Craig's workshop in Perth on a customers car.

Check the cool way he hid the two barrell Holley, tucked away under the old oil bath air cleaner, really neat :wink:
He was going to finish the air cleaner in black and put some reproduction factory decals back on the top.

You know the best part...............It's different :D

Look forward to seeing your triple grey breathers on a red cover :thumbsup:
