Thats a KR rocker cover, will fit fine just need longer bolts for the middle and bear in mind they'res 2 types of gasket - ribbed or flat.

Oh right! I bought the polished one in the end so should be the same fitment. How do you know what gasket you need without taking the cover off? I dont have a reg to give a parts company as its a conversion! is there anyway to tell?

You'll know what gasket to get once your cover turns up, if you look along where the gasket will seal it'll either have the groove for the ribbed gasket or flat for the flat gasket.

Perfect! Thanks for your help!
