Sorry to take so long Merv, but here they are. Neil Streeting had these specially made up to fit an RMC. As you probably know, Harrisons, Classic Revivals, G Force etc., etc., all have different mouldings around the inner doors so that is why no body as bothered to specialise in these particular Pinchweld Caps. From what Neil tells me, they are really labour intensive to make from Stainless Steel and take approximately 1 hour for each of the four constructed. The sheet of stainless has to be bent to match the curve of the Pinchweld, cut to size then a top piece shaped and welded on, the joints smoothed out then the piece polished. He estimates that they would cost around $30 each.

I told him that you are interested and he suggested you ring him on (02) 9520-5006 or email him on streeto@tpg.com.au to discuss your options.

At any rate, here are mine and I'm wrapped in the way they turned out.










Pinchweld Cap fitted to the rear of the door opening.




Pinchweld Cap fitted to the front of the door opening.




The original engine cover had the words "LS2 - 6 LITRE" embossed in red lettering above each tappet cover. That lettering has been removed and polished stainless steel plaques with the lasered words "COBRA" fitted to each side. In the centre front, the "GM Lion" has been removed and the numerals "6.0" lasered onto a circular stainless steel plaque.
