How much are you willing to pay?
You can still get them new, Kilkenny Castings in SA make them. They may even be available through Rare Spares.

cheers stinky, i have also seen them new but going for around the $200.00 mark?????????? ??? just a little too much at the moment for some pretty bits.
thanks i'll keep my eyes open, you never know whats around the corner or in the next box ;D ;D

I picked up an old Thomas rocker cover on eBay a while ago for about $100, I got lucky and I would've gone to $200 'coz that was the style I was after.
Holparts/Rare Spares in Wingfield SA had a finned alloy cover for $100, but it was the black style and it would've cost another $100 to polish.
Scout around a few wreckers, maybe call one of those Wrecker Hotlines and get them to put a call out for one. You never know what some of these guys have squirreled away.

cheers mate i'll give them a try. you never know your luck in a big town...

BTW Col,
I think the Thomas brand is the precursor to Speco-Thomas. I may be wrong though.

Just what you are looking for and more.

Crap! where was this lot 8 months ago!
I'd be sniping this one if I hadn't collected everything individually already. Then again, the 186 in the FC could do with a tidy up  ;D

well what are you after stinky ?
i only need the rocker cover, but could grab the oil pump cover aswell if not needed.
maybe we can combine and secure it..
dean

Thanks Smithy, but I have built up the collection I need, only took a couple years :) The FC will wait, I don't want two projects on the go.

You wont have any trouble getting rid of the other bits, or store them for later.

no worries there mate, checked the other day and price is starting to climb quite quickly.
dean

SOLD for only :o$227 attracted 44 bids :o
some frantic bidding in last moments
 how'd ya go dean.....
        trev

gday trev, geez i do love watching Ebay sometimes, and the amount of money people will pay for second hand items, sometimes far more than it would cost to buy the item new! ??? ???

personally i pulled out of looking at it well before the $200 mark.
at the moment there are dozens of other things on my car that i could spend $200 on.
anyone got any 15' moon discs? ;D
