LT1 finned rocker covers

[Mad4slalom]

Hi all, does anyone have a pair, or know of a supplier of the LT1 style finned alloy rocker covers? There are polished ones available but I would like them in the original grey anodised( or was it painted) finish. TiA

Many that look close, but I think you would have to paint them if only wanted that color

yes, have found original second hand gm ones for quite big bucks . Mine are quite good but pcv grommet holes been opened up and odd size breather fitted. No hurry , some will come along

I polished mine on both LT-1's as they're a bugger to clean and keep clean in the original finish. The correct ones have the 710 rubber plug and drippers but I have a set on the shelf which could be '72 LT-1 when they went to a twisty metal cap

Hi mr C , are they a spare set you may consider selling? What is the finish? Are they polished or need to be polished.? I was told mine are actually fitted on the wrong sides as my oil filler is on the passengers side ? Any pics would be handy. . Yours look very nice polished I must say. 07812571262

Oil fill on drivers side but I doubt it makes any difference. Will snap a pic of the spares I have later and yes they can be bought

I have a ton of '71 & '72 spares I need to off-load

re other spares, you wouldn't happen to have a front yoke would you ?

No my parts stash is mostly dress up items - shielding, window felts, chrome door handles... Spent 10 mins on one and it's about a 8.5 with some small blemishes and needs the little sticker / logo. No damage and the mating surface is true

thanks for pics,
I have a new logo in stock that gavin got for me. . If they are both that good I would be happy and can work on them some more. Did you have a price in mind ? I am missing the front drivers side plug wire chrome shield , your door handles , are they inner or outer? My outer’s ‘have thin and dull plating, i have a loose and wobbly window winder handle on the drivers door

The reason you're missing the front drivers side shield is it's the worst one to install and has to be done from under the car working 'backwards' and with an inspection mirror. Any mechanics working on them will chuck it the bin and claim 'it was always missing..'

I have two new outer door handles bought from Claremont but never used as I managed to fix the one's on the car and the spark plug shield. I'll dig them out

excellent, you have a good inventory of parts , I will see what else I need. my handles all work but the chrome is a bit lack lustre, are they a bit of a fiddle to fit ? or dooable by an old duffer with a first class honour’s in muppetry?

It will when it gets the tyre kindly provided by mr Cricket it is special to me also as it was the clock from my late dad’s antique shop with his name on it. Other wise I would have added chevy crossed flags to the face.
