As above - my rocker cover is missing the stainless dohc 16v turbo cosworth' badge.

They come up new on ebay for £25 from time to timw but none on there at the moment.

Anyone got one for sale? Cheers.

Not got one on my 4x4 or 2wd Rocker covers....

The badge was part of the actual rocker cover casting....

Thinking about it - do you have a Small turbo EEC4 Cossie rocker cover? That may be different....

Got a pic?

I see so the section was just left unpainted?

as that part is raised mate you can easily block that down to get the paint off and then go over it with finer paper ect and then polish it to what ever finish your after

Jimboxr4x4

Cheers. I guess someones just painted over it all in blue at some point.

As per The Saint - yep it's part of the rocker cover and just needs skimming over with fine grit paper on a sanding block, or a light skim in some kind of Mill or similar if you have access to one.

I *think* now you have mentioned it you may be able to get a stainless steel laser cut plate / cover that says the same, but if you can, it would probably look naff!

Most peeps just powder coat or pain the whole thing, then fine polish and laquer the top face.

Cheers. I guess it must have been the laser cut plates i'd seen.

Many thanks.

the cover has been painted full or powdercoated

what i did on mne after powdercoating is took to a machine shop and ask them to give it a skim on top

Why would you know it? Having never owned a cossie before now I haven't examined the rocker cover casting (or any other part of the car) in extensive detail. I guess if you're a geek and know every inch of your car then thats another matter......

You seemed very sure of your facts when you shot my initial reply down tho chap

Technically you were wrong as it ain't a badge but part of the rocker cover. If anyone can jeer at me it should be SiB

Jimboxr4x4

Seriously though, thanks to everyone for your replies - saved me buying some dodgey old laser cut piece of crap only to find its not what I thought it was!

cossie604

iTrader: (2)

eh? you were asking where to get a replacement stainless badge as yours was missing to which I replied they didnt come with one as standard. I know its part of the rocker cover, as does every one else inc your self now...at last
