The finned alloy covers were an after market item never available from the
factory. I believe they were a U.S. made item and sold thru accessories
suppliers such as MG Mitten or Hahn something?? I make a similar finned valve
cover for both the four and six and have replacement parts. ( knobs & logo
plates ) Have a look at my web page. <healeyray.com>

I don't know about later cars but on the 100 it was simply the original,
chrome plated. I had an original on my BN1 but have recently had to have
it re-chomed because it was peeling. The special hollow fixing nut heads
are also chromed.
To the best of my knowledge the cast ribbed cover that many fit to their
cars was not supplied by the Donald Healey Motor Company.
