Re: eBay Aluminum Valve Cover # 4507045026

Joe,
I had 2 of these. Sold one on eBay a year or so ago, may be this one being 
resold, and I still  have one. One came on my TR4 and I got the spare with 
it. I had trouble finding a suitable filler cap to run to a catch can so I 
removed the valve cover and sold it. If you want to see how it looks on the 
engine see this page towards the bottom:

 I notified the seller via email that it is not an "authentic genuine 
original factory issue vintage aluminum alloy valve cover" about three days 
ago but he hasn't amended his listing. To the best of my knowledge this is a 
part that was sold through the JC Whitney catalog. I might have to sell my 
spare at these prices!
