Hey All
The rebuild is still moving along slowly and the reshuffle of the various bits at the front of the motor is nearly done.
Have had Marty move alternator to passenger side, the coil packs are bolted to the firewall behind the motor, the support for the new tensioner is almost done.
This work has now all allowed the standard Ford thermostat housing and radiator hose attachment but now with a radiator cap attachment to be fitted back onto the motor. I can't recall who I owe a beer for this wonderful fitting....don't all put your hands up at once!!!
Anyway listening to advice and knowing some bits are medium term duration I've had the standard plenum polished for a bit of bling whilst I work out my real intake manifold arrangements.
Again through my hot rod mate, he put me onto his polisher and I'm very happy with the result as follows:

Rear face view

My question however relates to the drab standard rocker covers on the AU as I'd like to instal a pair of the finned alloy covers stamped "Cobra Powered by Ford".
I'd look to get a pair with the black infill paint and think this might nicely offset the rear view look of the plenum's polished and unpolished segments.
I know I need to be careful about the height of these to get under the plenum on the driver's side, question is does anyone know the right version to buy?
Better still does anyone have a pair of these covers to suit that they want to sell? Let me know please.
Enjoy the pics.
Cheers
Steve
