Default Stainless rockers

I had to send back a pair of rocker panels made by wilmore manufacturing as they were an in. and 1/4 too long and the curve was to acute even though the order # was proper for their ad. I've been looking around for another set but most of the advertisers get their rockers from wilmore. I bought a set for my 81 coupe a long time ago but can't seem to find again where I got them. I'm hoping some of you guys can steer me to a reputable site so I can finally get my Rocker panels. Thanks!! Bud:icon_urin al:

If you mean those aftermarket covers that go over the factory rockers most people stay away from them. At least they do here in northern New England, because they trap moisture, grit and salt and cause major rust issues.

This is where we see a difference in language.

I was just about to say be careful because theses engines are known for having heat issues. When it dawned on me that you would be thinking I'd completely lost the plot.

(Rocker covers = Valve covers in UK English) doh....
(Rocker Panels = Sills in UK English).

As per Jamey, anything that can trap moisture is not a great idea IMHO.

I'll take my meds now, and hopefully get back to normal.
