Subject: Interesting item on eBay web site item#344391767: Alloy Valve Cover
Austin Healey Sprite Bugeye
> Oh the wonder of ebay. Last year, the same model cast aluminium valve
cover gets only one bid $48.00. Today two bidders duke it out for the
privilege to pay $255.00 for one that needs work. (What are the characters
for a shaking head?

MG Metro ( again!!!!! ) has similar ones as standard with those nice, shiny
chrome
nuts and washers. There must be dozens in the scrapyard about a mile away.
$30ish delivered from the UK?
(No, I'm not in it for the money. I enjoy 'scrapyarding' and sharing UK
parts knowledge with those who don't have access to later BL models)
PS First batch of A+ timing covers posted to the US this week.
PPS Fully electronic (no condenser or points) LUCAS performance dizzy with
bearings top and bottom
(no shaft wobble) with only 2 moving parts. Straight swap for the 25D
model. Cost me £43.60 each with new cap and rotor arm. Requires a £4
spacer to be machined, or I could make up another batch of them. Anyone?
