Default *Wanted* Pinto alloy rocker cover

As per the title I'm looking for an alloy rocker cover to suit pinto engine.
Would like one of the JR cast ones with the logo, but happy to consider whatever else is out there.
If you've got one laying around shoot me a PM.

Thanks for that guys.
Not on facebook so that rules that option out.

From what I understand HPE only include them in their engine packages, fair enough they're engines do have quite a reputation.

Burton are on backorder at the moment, due later this year so thats an option although I'll be machining off their logo... ugly!

Trying to get in contact with IK but they haven't answered any emails in a couple of weeks now and where they post too is very limited. All good, if they get in touch I can always organize a courier to pickup.

Fingers crossed, I have some options for now.
Still hoping a JR cast, (business long since closed) pops up, they're a real piece of art.

I think IK are doing a massive stocktake at the moment, so that's probably why they are slow

you could try Taffs Autos in Adelaide, or Anthony Lawler up in Qld and see if they have any leads

Thanks for the suggestions guys.
IK returned my emails after the shop was shut for a couple of weeks annual leave.
This one arrived yesterday, very well made and finished, happy with it.
