Hi all, long time no post.

Just wondering if any Rover owners have pics of an ORIGINAL Rocker Cover :?:

I just found out that the BOC has an after-market RC on it and i would like to replace it with an 'original' one.

Anyone got any pics of an original one?

Cheers in advance,

Ian. :D

Mines an 1988, and it looks just like any other plain black rocker cover. Funny thing is that I was reading the latest mini experience last night and on page 71 I thought "hey, that looks just like my rocker cover, except its newer and cleaner!" :lol:

So that's what it should look like? In the new ME Mag? But tin, yeah?

Cheers, speedy!

Ian , according to the German version of the British Open sales brochure I have in my collection it's a very boring looking black rocker cover , without even a sticker or plate on it , should be easy enough to find something that looks the same really .

Bingo, that's what it looks like, but not as new and shiny! :)

Unfortunately not but put a search for "british open prospekt" on ebay and you'll probably find one , the English sellers seem to call them "prospekt" as well for some reason ....

:shock: :lol: Always have a laugh when I see such a crowded Rover engine bay , people used to complain our local mini engine bay was crowded . I'd love to take a Rover mini to the old , semi-retired mechanic near here that started his apprenticeship on the first Morris Minors and worked through mini's while his father was the local dealer , he still complains of lack of space , a Rover would really spin him out ....

Thanx for all the pics, folks. They're a great help. :D

Now, anyone know of anybody trying to flog a black Rocker Cover like that to fit a 1275?

I'd say try anyone who imports front cut's of Rovers (Brickworx are the only ones that come to mind but I'm sure there are others ) , they should be able to get what you need if they haven't got them sitting around ....

Failing that just get a non vented Aussie one (there are some about) , weld up the rivet holes from the morris plates and paint it black , no-one will really know .
