Technical "B" side cover

Discussion in 'Traditional Hot Rods' started by hb32, Jun 14, 2015.

  1. Lets see them, aftermarket Banger "B" side covers, Thomas, Burns etc
     
  2. The pictures show a Model B "Thomas" valve cover. I bought this from Dan Price in the eighties (seems like yesterday). It is my understanding that this is a creation by Dan Price and that there were none made originally by Thomas. Sure looks good (or it will after it is polished).

  13. Nice. I have a Burns intake and would like either a Burns "B" cover or Winfield.
     
  14. Think it was Schwalms Babbitted Bearings that had the Burns B cover for sale...you could try them..
     
  15. Thanks for the lead burnzy and have emailed them for further info. Do you know if the intakes were repoped as well?
     
  16. Not that I'm aware of..
