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.

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.

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

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

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.

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? dean
