iBang Posted March 3, 2011 Share Posted March 3, 2011 Not sure if this is the right place for this post, but better than nothing. I'm looking for a specific picture of an L-series valve cover, specifically this one: Credit to rossman, pic is borrowed from his build thread. I need a picture looking straight down onto the top of the valve cover and I need it at as high a resolution as possible. I'm going to base some cad work off of it so I need it to be reasonably close to straight overhead - I can work it a bit in photoshop for it being a few degrees off but any more than that and its no good. Would someone with one of these mind ducking into their garage and snapping a picture? I'd really appreciate it and it might lead to something pretty cool for the members of this board down the line a bit. Thanks in advance!

JSM Posted March 3, 2011 Share Posted March 3, 2011 (edited) I'm up for something cool! I hope this helps. Condition is not the best nor is my 1.5 MP camera! http://i636.photobucket.com/albums/uu85/jeffreysm/ZXT_VC.jpg Edited March 3, 2011 by JSM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iBang Posted March 4, 2011 Author Share Posted March 4, 2011 (edited) Cad work is largely complete! Here's what you helped create: A center coil pack cover for RB25 that is "inspired" by the old L-series valve covers. I think it came out looking pretty nice! Pretty close to what I was going for originally, don't you think? Now I just need to find a machine shop to CNC this thing for me out of some aluminum. That plus a little powder coat and I'll have a nice new center garnish for my RB25 Edited March 4, 2011 by iBang Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cgsheen Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 (edited) My oldest Son would dig one of those for the RB he's swapping into his M30! Then his engine would "match" mine AND his younger brothers... Edited March 4, 2011 by cgsheen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rossman Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 Hmm, that picture looks familiar! I guess you don't need another picture from me? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've got a thread gauging interest in getting a run of these made going in the RB forum. If I get enough interest, I'll get a few made. Hmm, that picture looks familiar! I guess you don't need another picture from me? Thanks but yeah, I put a post here at the same time I PM'd you and got plenty of responses here quickly.
