Default polishing valve covers

Had my 289 valve covers polished and painted by a fordbarner, Andy Tants and what a great job. If you need something polished he's your man. Thanks Andy

Why not buy a couple of buffing wheels for your bench grinder.
I did my own covers recently.

Scicala they came like that. I have had them about twenty years and were a period accessory from the sixties (Australian made). Lindsey Shoemark? is now producing some similar covers. I have always liked them and kept them because I knew one day I would find a use for them. I have Edelbrock covers on my Mainline Ute.

I will have to say you folks in Australia have quite nicer options for Ford/Merc Y block valve covers than we do! Very nice
