I managed to finish off my rocker cover today.
From this…
To this…
I’m pretty happy with the outcome. It’s not perfect but as it’ll never see the light of day, the standard is more than sufficient. If it was a piece that was visible (no engine cover) I’d have polished the inner too rather than spraying that. The polished bits have a nice even and flat mirror finish.
The new gasket arrived this morning so the rocker cover is now back on the car. I’m just waiting on some SS nuts and bolts to button it down. I’m also trying to source a Coil Pack Harness Cover, which was originally fitted the Mk5 Golf GTI. I’m not keen on buying from the States, so I’ll keep looking. I’ve emailed Dave at Sere Motors; hopefully he can locate one for me.
My Inlet Manifold to Throttle body Gasket and Injector Seals arrived from Dave at Sere today. My 8mm silicone hose and clamps arrived from Forge also.
I now have everything (bar the non-return valve for PVC removal) to remove/re-fit the Inlet Manifold so that’ll be tomorrow’s job, if the baby doesn’t arrive
