Anyone got the eBay valve covers??

Anyone have these? They seem to be the only alternative besides LT4 covers. Which happen to be twice as much. Just seeing if anyone had any problems with them mounting to an LT1 with roller rockers.

About 6 months ago, I emailed an ebay seller and asked if their valve covers fit RR's... Their reply said no..
They looked just like the ones in Poorman's link, however I forget the exact vendor name..
Any one actually have these covers? And do they for SURE fit Crane Gold RR's?
[ Not doubting your post scoobysnax, but yours are different and don't have the alternator 'notch']

I got mine from the same guy, but I got the tall ones. They clear my Harlan Sharpes and look great. Very good construction, thick and strong.
The only thing that is keeping me from getting the 7/16" is that I am not sure if the stock valve covers will clear them. I heard about trimming the supports but now someone is telling me they may hit the top of the cover. Geez, I may just stick with 3/8" if it's going to cost me another $100 just to put some valve covers on that fit.

They look sweet but don't think they have the altenator clearance.

lol, I hate to "clearance" anything that is brand new and over a $100.
It always looks like crap when I do anything like that.

PoorMan,
I have those exact valve covers. I also have Comp ProMag 1.6 rockers with the Crane 10308 spring kit. I havent had a single problem with them. I did however have to get creative with the hose that runs from the passenger side cover to the TB b/c the hole was too large. They are pretty difficult to clean and shine also.
