    Now ive searched here, google and various other forums. I saw on ebay that there is a NEW thickstun inline six finned valve cover. IT looks to be new and the same seller is selling a repop intakes. Now who is repoping them? Ive heard about baron racing redoing something but they seem to be having issues lately and ive not found any info to be certain. Anyone know who is repoping them?

    It's not so much a reproduction as an all new product, since I don't believe that there ever was a Thickstun valve cover for 216s. I noticed that it uses the '54-'62 style of retention, i.e. four bolts around the perimeter as opposed to two studs through the center.

    I believe that Tony Baron was displaying these at the LA Roadster Show 2 years ago. As far as I know, Tony is the owner of the Thickstun trademark, and also produced a Thickstun oil stand for the flathead Ford and a fuel block. Baron Racing in California should not be too hard to find.

    Evil-bay - 500$. I'd like one to go with my intake, but way too rich for my poor old 235.
