Default XJ6 Cam Covers

Does anyone know where I can get the cam covers for a series II xj6, I see SNG sell polished chrome covers but I want them to look more original and not blingy.

Contact Robert Laughton, a forum member here. He may have a set for you. He is in Niagara-on-the-Lake, Ontario, Canada.

One has a crack in it and is leaking. The car belongs to my friends father and the son wants to buy him new cam covers for his 70th birthday.

I Have a spare set off a ser3. I don't think they're any different than ser2. I put a set of Etype 4.2 on mine...

A bit of polish...

S3 covers don't have the half moon opening at the rear, which is needed to mount the throttle linkage, unless it's a late S2 with FI.

I wonder if that is for RHD or SU's as mine didn't have the cut out for the speedo drive. Actually the covers in the picture had the cut out but I soldered a piece in place so all I needed is the half moon in the head.
