Discovered my cast powder coated bling rocker cover had clearance issues with rockers.
I have jacked them up with shims for geometry.
The answer from the man is run a standard one.
I can paint it nice and it wont be a pita.
My pushrods are in painted to check clearance.
Getting there.Have a great weekend all!

Or, being a cast cover, you can have the rear wall of the cover thinned down. I had an engineering shop do (what I think was called??) a fly cut across the inside, back of the cover to clear Titan 1.5 RRs.

Cheers, Ian

Thanks mate We have a local powder coat and paint business done some great work for me at a good price.
They are doing my tanks and can do the standard cover.
Its great doing the mini now compared to a kid with no funds with my first car. 998 Deluxe oil burner crap brakes

I threw away the 2 soggy now natural rubber grommets and made some polyurethane washers 4mm thick that sit on top. Allows the rocker cover to be pushed back to clear.
