Any certain valve cover fit the P51 better than others?

What Randy said. Seeing where I had to grind you still may have trouble with the sheetmetal covers. FRPP covers you may have to weld on, but they will fit. Cheers Colin.

Thanks guys. I talked to Lem earlier. There are no FRPP covers available at all. FRPP is out of them at the moment. Looks like I'll get a set of the Trick Flows instead. I thought I found a set local but they were the stamped steel variety.

Does anyone know where I can get a set of these spacers?

I am pretty sure Barry R. at Survival sells the spacers also.

I got the spacers off of e-bay a few years ago. I dont remember who the seller was. I still had to grind a little on the spacer to clear a valve spring, but they were cast pretty thick. It wasnt a big deal.

And holy crap , I definately didn't pay as much as that auction is asking, at that point it would be cheaper to get some new polished aluminum tall covers.
