Irmscher rocker cover

[Jonesfach]

I assumed all sports had them, were they fitted if you went for the optional cam then?

Silly money to spend, could have one custom made for that and have whatever you like on it.

Never fitted to sports whatever spec of cam chosen.

You could buy them from irmscher as an after market type bolt on thing.

Well in that case its an ultra pointless buy. I never saw the appeal in the irmscher badging, its just not a cool sounding name and doesn't signify that the car is a performance model when you see it on various Vauxhalls, unlike Cosworth is on Fords for instance.
Wonder why people even bought them back in the day, it seems a bizzare thing to go out of your way to get, a rocker cover that won't be seen.

These posts are getting boring now (this isn't a pop at the OP btw) - it seems that most days people are 'offended' by the prices of things... I think we just need to come to terms with the fact that parts cost more than they did 3,5, 10 years ago - shocking I know...

I think we should be grateful that they are - it shows how people are valuing the shonky old Nova doesn't it??

Any post on here at the moment is most welcome, it's been very quiet recently.

Anyway if it was me I'd probably have the standard one polished or chromed, would be a lot cheaper and better looking imo

I'd like the look of an irmscher cam cover in my saloon as the black/silver theme would work well in amongst the mexico red. A set of twin 40s wouldn't go amiss either haha

That being said, I really like to look of my machine polished cover and may go for full machine polished head when I decide to build a 1.3 on carbs for the saloon

It's both a shame and a great thing that parts like this go for good money.

It's great because the Nova is finally being recognised as a valued classic/retro car!
It's a shame because I can't see myself parting with £1,000 for the interior I want in the saloon :/

Its definitely a real one, unless it's been swapped of course! Lol!
