sam93 Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 Hello All,I've managed to get a source for the correct alloy rocker cover to fit the GT6. The source is from Moss Europe, essentially it will be the cost of an alloy rocker cover from Moss, plus a machining fee of £15 - £20 for a single item. However the machining cost can be reduced down to £10 each for a bulk order of 10+.Therefore then the costs for each type will be as follows:Polished = £130 + machining fee + postageSatin black with polished ribs = £102 + machining fee + postageBoth types have the Triumph Tune logo on.By the looks of the website, the gasket, fittings & oil cap come at extra cost.Could you please let me know if you would be interested & who knows, the bigger the order we may even be able to swing a better discount.Sam.

GT6 M Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 Sam, doo ye mean a rocker box with SAH on it, or with TTune on it!!!there were a few diff types, some wide an shallowsome as above, but with sloping ends, both got TTon emone in a circle, the other in a line.I have both types, and the sloping one looks alott lott better.Also got a SAH,n but this is alott lott taller than the othersMesell, I prefer the sloping TT one I got on, the SAH one just looks too tall for the GTAny below that ye on aboot, or is it some thing different,!!M Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sam93 Posted November 27, 2013 Author Share Posted November 27, 2013 The above rocker covers are shown in the attached picture. I'm not fully sure how they will be machined to fit the GT6 though. I shall send another email, I'm hoping that the process will turn the rocker cover into the slopped edges type.Sam.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cook1e Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 The SAH ones are like Rocking horse Poo now and command a very high price when they come up for sale 2nd hand on ebay, usually £200+. The later Triumphtune ones are a completely different design and are pretty much the same as the ones available from many sources today all beit with the adition of the Toilettune Triumphtune logo.I'm lucky enough to have one of the genuine original SAH rocker covers on the GT6 And no it's not for sale !!

Spitfire2500 Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 Sam - You can put me down for one of the satin back ones.Ultimitely I'd like to get my hands on one of the TT sloped ones as per Marcus's last pic but a satin black one as per Sam's pic will do for the time being Back in about 1989/1990 I had about seven or eight of these lying about in the garage, of which three or four were SAH ones - would you believe I gave them away when Triumphs and I parted company in 1992 (temporarily as it later turned out) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davemate Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 Mr Radders sent his one back as the quality was pure shite Mine is only a wee bit better, I wished I'd bought the black but one without the writing on ! This is what it should be like, the original T-Tune oneThis is the writing on mine and remember this is better than the one Mr Radders was sent !The whole thing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TedTaylor Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 I have my two now (dance). One for the Mk1 saloon for which it was given to me by a friend in the 1990s, and another that I acquired from Italy of all places on a special deal, for WDG.Oh and to go on the back of the two cars I have a pair of these Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sam93 Posted November 28, 2013 Author Share Posted November 28, 2013 I've had a new response back from moss. The procedure involves machining the from edge down to an angle. I'll try and get a picture. Sam. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bodders1 Posted November 29, 2013 Share Posted November 29, 2013 Quoted from sam93 M Could you explain what you mean by the wider one will fit no problem ?Sam. Take a look a Marcus's pictures near the top of this thread. There are 3 different rocker covers placed side by side for comparison. The middle one is wider and lower than the other two. That is the one Marcus is referring to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
