    i never seen this post when it was new!

    i have a set of the fenton valve covers for the nailhead, but mine have holes for the breathers, so they are of later design i guess, the only thing that ****s is one has had the fenton badge smoothed off, i got mine off of egay too, but they went for cheap i thought.

    if anybodys got a junk fenton valve cover for any make and want s to sell it i was thinking about cutting out the logo and welding into my valve cover!

    Try building a "fenton" from alloy and welding,soldering ,glueing etc to the cover? .Or building up a blob of alloy and grinding one out with a dremel.

    Probably wouldn't advise repoping anything that is Fenton related! The Fenton name and products are still an actively protected trademark! The owner is currently battling a speed parts place in Neb.(wonder who that is?) for trying to steal the Fenton name from him and use it as his own! So he probably wouldn't think twice about adding anyone else to the court battle....
