    u mean the finned ones or stock vn s1 aluminum covers?

    coz the finned ones use a different cork gasket to the stock ones.

    just a fyi there

    and i havent seen anyone selling metal ones, but have seen people mention them, are they pressed metal ones like most v8 ones? or just saying metal instead of aluminum? can someone point me in the direction of pressed metal ones if thats what they are talking about?


    sorry for stealing ur thread.

    yeah i saw the finned ones, wasn't too impressed. i'm after the stock VN ones. i have a rubber gasket that i bought before i took my vp covers off a while back, but didn't need.


    don't know if they're pressed alluminium or what.

    bags buying first to anyone who has 'em (i'll pay exactly $1 more than hakhawk)

    just out of interest did you get any of the stock alu ones from a wrecker? how much did it set you back?

    i wanna spiffy up the engine bay, but bugger paying 150 to do it.

    hehehe, good luck finding the "holden" ones defa, when i ordered mine in 05 i think it was, they were the last ones in any holden dealership available.

    you can get the "v6" ones from kilkenny tho, ("holden" ones were made from kilkenny too, but they dont make em now)

    and if you're lucky, the odd set pops up on ebay, just gotta catch em.
