| Frank If you'd like to tackle a valve cover project, then I'd much rather keep business dealings with people that already have a vested interest in the Y. If anyone that's interested in valve covers can post their design ideas, then the most popular design can be used. I'm assuming at this point you're toying with the idea? What's needed on your end to actually make a valve cover project happen? You've probably got a much better idea at this point on exactly what the market demand is for Y-Block parts.

| I really like the idea of a two piece cover, don't have a clue how it would work, but one with the Y block logo would be cool. I suppose that it would have too have internal ribs cast into it that would bolt to the rocker stands in the normal manner and then a cover that was attached with a row of bolts around the outside.

| | Ted, Chuck ETC. OK I'll bite. I didn't do this earlier because Mummert makes them, and for a while Chris Larson in Cincinnatti was going to do one. I actually had a couple of sam[ples made for Chris, But he's dissapeared. Do we want a nostalgia ribbed cover like John's, A two piece Hard Core race cover, don't mess with me look. A high rise Ford motor sports cover? Send sketches or ideas to me or Ted If you have an idea, DRAW it, don't want to hear "that's not what I meant." We might do two if it's a two piece, in fact, I could put names on a two piece with a mill or (more expensive) cast the names logos what ever. To reverse John's idea how about one with a bowtie? That ought to confuse somebody. If I do them, I'd really like to see provisions for breathers, oil fills, and the Rebop logo somewhere.

| Frank, is this the one you made for Chris? I thought this was a nice design.

| | Tell me the overall width x length and the raised top width x length and the location of the bolt holes from the overall ends. I can draw. I like the interlocking Y idea - like diamond plate aka fish plate ( like the top of a step bumper ). |

| Y-block valve covers are held down by two bolts. It would be nice if whatever design was made, if the design would incorporate the bosses on the underside to hold it down with four bolts. I think a no-name finned valve cover with four chrome nuts on top would confuse a lot of people.
