hi has any one got the modified rocker cover from tiger if so how much did it cost it total? as i need one for my avon i would do it myself but i have no welderto do it

I recently saw an avon at the open day without a modified cover. It seems the guy used a mitsubushi filler cap as it would fit under the bonnet. I havent modified mine yet even though ive painted it as im banking on getting a suitable filler cap. I guess it also depends on what you did to the rubber mounts to raise or lower the engine. Ive used the supplied ones myself. If you find one in the mean time that fits let me know.

i was thinking to cut the filler neck down
and the filler cap

I had to move mine as the bonnet virtually rests on my spark plug leads.
Think it depends on the fit of the bonnet as no two avons appear to fit the same!

I've literally just modified my pinto rocker cover (picked it up from welder mate today.)
Here's how I did it and it works a treat.
Hacksaw off the existing filler neck flush with the rocker cover and retain for future use.
Get hold of a sierra 2 into 1 exhaust downpipe(credit to Mark Allason for this hot tip!) - I used one from a P100.
Cut out a straight section from one of the twin pipes.
You'll find the original filler neck fits snugly inside this section.
Cut out an oval hole in the rear end of the rocker cover of the same diameter as the section of pipe (I used a small drill bit to perforate a hole and then the ever useful powerfile to finish and elongate it to the correct size) - this allows the pipe to sit at an inclined angle.
Cut the pipe section to a suitable length and take it to your local back street garage to get it welded into the rocker cover (I can't imagine that the welding would cost very much!). Only let it protrude into the cover by about 5mm or so or it will foul the rear cam bearing post.
Insert the original filler neck into the top and have them run a bead of weld around it as well and hey presto one modified rocker cover!

Cheers,
Andy.

..P.S.
...I forgot to say get them to weld a plate over the hole left by the original filler neck!

I could try to take and post a photo of mine if it helps? ('though I'm not too hot on this computer malarky!)

Andy.

Help...

Right...here goes...hopefully pics of my rocker cover will appear here! (pre- painted!)

Hmmm....a bit on the large side! I told you I wasn't very good at this computing game!..how do I make it smaller? in basic layman terms please! so a numpty like me may be able to understand!

Use a photo editor to shrink it or take your camera resolution down a few notches. 500 pixels wide now.
