aardvark Posted April 3 Report Posted April 3 Folks, I have 2 choices,.. My existing 63 R2 Valve covers are chrome and rusty. (so are my Bumper-ettes on both front and back) I could have them re-chromed ...OR...buy new ones. Do Y'all have any sources for buying new ones? I'm flatlining on my search.
Gunslinger Posted April 3 Report Posted April 3 Check an issue of the AOAI Magazine...I don't have one handy to see. There's a vendor who sells reproduced bumper parts. Don't know about the valve covers, though.
Dwight FitzSimons Posted April 4 Report Posted April 4 The painted Lark & Hawk valve covers are more suitable for re-chroming than chrome ones: 1) The painted ones generally don't rust, so no rust pits, and 2) It is much easier to remove paint than chromium. --Dwight
aardvark Posted April 4 Author Report Posted April 4 Dwight.. Makes sense, but I don't have any covers (or Bumperettes) other than the chromed versions on the car. Thus if I'm ending up buying em, I might as well pay up. but not the $600+ the other Co's is advertising for.
