Robert roof 16 valve head-valve covers?
 

I spend most of the time on the early V8 forum, but I have a friend that has just acquired a model T race car with a roof 16 valve head. He is looking for set of valve covers for it. Does anyone know a source for these or a contact that might know where to locate some?
Thanks,
Ralph

Good question for the Facebook Model T speedster page; https://www.facebook.com/groups/modeltspeedster
Or Model T Ford Club of America
Either site, might have better chance of finding some help for this question.

Contact Mike Bender in the Tulsa Model T club. Mike was involved in making covers a few years a go and may be able to help you.

Isn't the 16 valve a single cover? Maybe just knock one up in aluminum until he can find one to copy?

Nope. The eight valve heads used a single cover, but the 16 valve heads used a totally different pair of covers. Because of the rocker arm arrangement, the covers are quite tall. I think a single cover would look like a giant dog house and not be very appealing.
