Er if you told me they were ofenhouser i would have told you that they will make anything from the back catalog. One of the only speedpart manufacturers to still hold all their tooling

I just found them - how was I supposed to know they where Offy Covers until I found them ?

I was thinking those paired with a Hilbourn (finned) style scoop . . .

Ooooo Shiny......Buy em

Roadkill · July 12, 2006, 12:21:11 PM

Shipping is $70.00 + $250

Yup but now we know who makes them you should be able to get them at another time from an offy distributor in the USA

Found them on Summit (shudder) for a bit less . . . .

Erm, estimated ship date, 19 September 2006!

I hope they do still actually make them as that suggests Summit will "order them upon request".

Anything manufactured by offy will still be made. They keep every mould and will re manufacture any of there speed parts. One of the guys i know in the USA had a manifold made for a straight 8 poncho motor, 50 years after production stopped
