[Fot] Valve Cover Fasteners. Wilen Inspired

[Joe Alexander]

Friends,

FOT Alexandre Camoletti sent me a message from Switzerland.

He is rightfully correcting me on the origins of the valve cover fasteners.

My inspiration for the design actually came from “Wilen”, who produced not only the valve cover fasteners, but the valve cover, which features lateral heat sinks.

Now I am trying to find out more history on the “Wilen”. Company. This may be far more interesting. I have never heard of Wilen. Perhaps others have?

Anyway, Alexandre produced some to exacting dimensions. He also sent me the drawings. While I plan to stay the course on our design features, I want to set the history straight.

Thanks and much thanks to Alexandre.
