    I had read somewhere that these were being reproduced. Does anyone have any info about where I can get a set?? Alternately I saw a guy with original Caddy treated with the same bumps. OR why do the offy repop covers not fit?

The bumps are for adjustable rocker arms. If you have stock rockers the Offys fit just fine

    Offy covers won't clear Studebaker adjustable rockers; don't know about Gotha or McGurk rockers...

    I bought a set of those Caddy 'covers on eBay about 7 years ago from a dude in Yorba Linda CA. A couple months later I also picked up a set of Hildebrandt SBC 'covers from him too. I think this guy was a one-man operation and was only running part time, even back then. Thats all I can tell you.....
