I was checking through some old Wheels magazine (they have an excellent scanned archive here: https://bauer-archive.x-cago.net/vw/edi ... ?year=2021 ) and I found name to go with these rocker covers!

Wheels 1967 (click to enlarge the photo) names them as being made by Aunger. Wonder if this means they cast them too or just distributed them?

They were sand cast here, no cheap thin imported Asian rocker covers sold here back then.

I have two similar here, different brand, fins only on top, one marked Special and the other Sports.

Can't beat the bling factor of a standard rocker cover, chromed of course.
