Rover V8 Cobra Rocker Covers

Hi

Just bought a Cobrtetti viper the other day and was wondering if anyone can tell me where I can buy 'Cobra' rocker covers for my 3.5 Rover V8? I understand that these are available, but as the new kid on the block I've no idea where to start to looking!

Any help gratefully recieved!

Craig.

Re: Rover V8 Cobra Rocker Covers

Russ has some adapters to convert Ford covers to fit Rover, then it should be easy to get the covers from Real Steel 01895 440505

Ceejay,

I read in one of the Kit car mags recently that Hawk sell them for £68:50. Can't find it at present but will carry on looking.

Regards

Marc

Re: Rover V8 Cobra Rocker Covers

Hi All

Thought I'd update this forum - after a bit of phoning around I managed to get Cobra Rocker covers for my Rover V8 3.5 Litre. Hopefully these details will be of use to anyone about to go down this route:

Cobra Rocker Cover - £105 + VAT from Real Steel (01895 440 505)
Ford Rocker Cover Gasket - £12 + VAT from Real Steel

Convertion Plates - £55 + VAT from Pop Browns (08456 588191)

Rover Rocker Cover Gaskets - £6 from any good Motor Factors.

Total Cost - £209

I've seen complete kits (with all of the above) going for £250 + delivery on eBay which rather annoyed me, so I wanted to let everyone in the club know of a cheaper way to get the cobra look.

Hope this is of some help!

Regards from the Freezing North...
CeeJay.
