Pinto SOHC Alloy Rocker Cover
Wanted: A new Alloy rocker cover to suit the Pinto SOHC. I would like it be plain. No writing or fancy lines etc. If you know of one or where I could get one that would be great.
Cheers

Get a fabrication shop to make one for you! Would be way easier than trying to find a plain alloy cover, there aren't many around unless they're custom. I have one, but it's not for sale [:p]

I bought mine from Burtons in the UK, same as Sundowners' cover but with a front oil filler. They haven't sold these 'plain' covers for a few years though. Cheers, Jason.

Looks the same as mine, absolute pain to get the gasket on perfect otherwise it will leak. Take your time putting it on and try your best to not take it off. if I had my time again I wouldn't put my one on. just my 2 cents.

I'm with Kizza,i cringed when i seen you got one of those rocker cover's,they are the easiest way to add more oil leaks to a pinto.
You probably would have been better getting Avon's Burton one and getting the fins and logo machined off it.
