    Anyone do a rocker cover for the st170

    Thinking of fitting an st170 only thing I don't like is, I think the rocker cover is ugly. Anyone know of anyone that does a nicer looking rocker cover

    If you'd took the measurements and made a drawing (simple one, by hand), i could make a solidworks 3d model to bring to a cnc shop.

    If you could draw all the dimensions so i would just model it- it's an easy job. No money unless you want it to be made. I can find a shop to cnc-make it, but they won't tell the cost till they see the model and i'm in Moscow so we'd have to figure out postage or something. It may be worth doing because our cureency is very low.
    Anyway, make a drawing and i'll make a model. No paint art or factory blueprint quality needed, just an image so i could read the forms and dimensions. Can't charge anything for that

    hi m8, would it be possible for you to do a rough drawing to give me an idea of what you would need, can`t imagine there being too many st170 rocker covers in your part of the world lol

    I need to assign every mating surface. Imagine you are an engineer and you draw a part. The more you draw is better.
    Just start trying, you'll get the idea soon. Also you can always print a template and check if your measurements are accurate enough.

    Best way if you are serious, send off the existing ST170 Rocker Cover, detail what you want, i.e something that looks like the BDA rocker cover but with the VVT port disguised

    I probably will buy one silvertop cover as i figure out my current build stage. But it's not the closest future even remotely

    Did you ask me? No, these are very rare here. Import is expensive too.
