I see you have joined the MGB V8 air filter club!!
We are a small group with those ally covers mate. I think Ian only ever made about a dozen didnt he ??
Very tidy car mate. I'm only down the road in Buckingham, but mines not a shiny MGB. It's a sort of rolling R&D vehicle.
You should bring that beast up to the Pod in the new year to meet up with me, Tony and the other V8 nutters.
It's a blast, you will enjoy it.

Im jealous
My engine bay and engine is now covered in s**** and oil. Might get some shiny edelbrock elite rocker covers and adaptor plates off ebay. As for cleaning, i take mine to a pressure washer, cover up the air filter and dizzy with placcy bays and sparay it down but i dont go to the trouble of polishing everything tho. I'd like one of those filter aswell. Never seen one before

Looks like you repainted yours? Mine came with the crackle finish black paint as used on the dashboards. I think id prefer to take the paint off and go for the flat glossy black that you appier to have achieved.tetlow wrote:Hi JC
I am very happy with mine.
I have added a small mod though.
I had 4mm deep slot machined underneath, the width of the filter.
It locates the filter better and gives me a bit extra clearance.

The guy was also selling rocker covers. SD1 type with the MG badge cast into them. I didnt go for the rockers being an impoverished student. Wish I hd now even though they were a bit on the chunky side.

Hi JC
I did not buy the rocker covers either because I prefer to not to have a breather hole at the end of each rocker, and I agree they are a bit chunky. I like the smoother ROVER covers.
I sprayed my cover with laquer to make it stay clean and all the paint bubbled.
I had to completely strip it and repainted with Hammerite primer and Smooth Black Spray.
I am very happy with the outcome.
