+| 'SS-427' Valve Covers... Any Resin Casters Offer Them ?|+

[1972coronet]

I really don't want to buy an entire kit just for its valve covers, only to seek replacements for them once I build the actual kit (e.g., Monogram 1939 Coupe or Sedan Delivery; 1966 Malibu Street Freak et al.).

Does anyone offer either those sweet SS-427 valve covers or perhaps better yet, Cal Customs or Motion rocker covers in 1/24 scale? 

I thought that the Motion offerings in the 1970 1/2 Camaro would work, but they're too obviously undersized on the Monogram BBC engine. I toyed with cutting the main portion of the Motion 'covers, then cutting the Monogram stock 'covers to the ledge, and adding the 1/25 scale "tops" to the 1/24 scale "ridges"... but, my arthritis tells me "NO!".
So, aftermarket it is.

Oddly, the Fly Eye air filtre in the 1970 Camaro Phase III is actually larger than the one in the R-M 1970 Motion Chevelle. I'll likely use the Camaro's air filtre on the Monogram Chevelle.

Links, please.

Try asking in the wanted section, there's probably a few of those 66 Chevelles in many parts boxes around here.

Do you mean one of these?

You could always cast your own.... I've been wanting to cast those same covers using the scrap styrene and lacquer thinner mix technique in a clay mold... Don't know if it will work or not, but it won't hurt to try.....

He calls them 1/25, but they appear to be exact copies of the old 1/24 Monogram bits. Likely close enough either way.

Thanks much! those certainly are dead ringers for the Monogram parts.
