Does anyone have a source for good quality, after-market finned aluminum valve covers with the T-bird logo, the style that came on the Y-block T-birds from the factory? Thanks in advance, Ron.

The repros are probably all made by one company. All the Tbird parts suppliers have these.

SB: Do you know if they're polished aluminum or chromed aluminum? Is the quality tall enough to look good and resist oil leaks, etc.? Thanks, Ron

Check out this guy! http://www.raadhotrodspeedshop.com/ He's in Brazil but has some decent products. Not sure about shipping though. He also makes his version of the Thunderbird valve covers. http://translate.google.com/translate?tl=en&sourceid=ie8-activity&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.raadhotrodspeedshop.com%2F Different but nice. Chuck

Ron, Don't think this guy does valve covers but he completes the set http://www.rexhp.com/products.html. As far as I know Tbird valve covers are done as repops and should be available through any Tbird specialist. Cheers Warren

Thanks for the info, guys. I found a T-Bird restoration biz in southern California that's been selling them for many years (they ain't cheap, thou). Ron

I got mine from a shop in Corona, When i put them on they where leaking very bad, took them of and they where like a banana so i had to get them machined to get them straight. It's to far to do a complaint from Sweden. Just check this before you buy. I was just so overwhelmed by this covers so i just paid and left happily
