Thanks Theo, I guess I just couldn't accept that so many people could be
misled.

Subject: RE: [Tigers] Lat 8 Valve Covers
>From what I know, the SS valve covers are produced from original dies,
or from reworked original dies, using modern casting technology. So you
get correct valve covers without any of the casting issues that older
valve covers may have. I have a set of old Cobra covers on my engine
(came with the Tiger) and they have a lot of knit lines and other
imperfections.
What you're seeing is eBay hype and buyers that don't know about Rick's
offerings. A similar thing happened a few years ago where an "original"
LAT hood went for $1100 or some such number... I'd much rather go to
Kent Wilcox and get a new hood for half the price.
