Not great but here you go



Think these give you an idea?
Do you think it'll be cost effective?

Re: Gauging interest stainless stuff - 200/400/600/Zr/brm
Costing one off would be more expensive as I would maybe have them laser cut.
I will try and get a set and see if they could be manually made
Would you spray them

Probably, i aint sure. I think it would look odd in shiny silver 
If its not practical then it may not be worth it for you. I didn't realise they made some in plastic. Whilst it is better than corroded metal they are more likely to break.

That all in one cam cover is hideous IMO, and you're asking for blown rocker cover gaskets with that atmospheric breather1234dist wrote:Like mineGonna have a look at stainless cam covers too maybe as a one off![]()

Why blown rockers, they're still under there, this sits on the top of them using the screw holes provided.That all in one cam cover is hideous IMO, and you're asking for blown rocker cover gaskets with that atmospheric breather
breather is temp and was on the car.

Re: Gauging interest stainless stuff - 200/400/600/Zr/brm
The original set-up draws pressure off the top of the engine. The atmospheric breather ( which seems to be a popular option) does not allow the pressure to escape fast enough so it blows the gasket. Been a couple of posts on here about it and have experienced it myself as my turbo arrived with a similar breather.

Individual rocker covers to replicate the plastic ones would be cool
i dont like the all in one cover either tbh, it just looks a little too big if you know what i mean.

That's the fan holder
I have a spare!
Is that something you'd want?
Also started looking at stainless cam covers

Re: Gauging interest stainless stuff - 200/400/600/Zr/brm
Really?
Any idea who?
The top two parts are easy enough to replicate
The lower would be very hard
Maybe as a one off but
