I scored these today and didn't want to wait for them in the mail so I went and got them.....These are original I purchased them from the original owner who ordered them out of the empi catalog back in 1970. They have all 4 original plastic inserts 3 original threaded caps 2 original studs and both original gaskets when purchased in 1970 [ Attachment: You are not allowed to view attachments ] [ Attachment: You are not allowed to view attachments ] [ Attachment: You are not allowed to view attachments ]

I almost bid on them, but at £180 a pair it was £30 to ship and £50 import duty! They were cheap, I have seen recent ones go for almost double, but not treble. |

I think they were reproductions from Florida, that someone tried to make look genuine. P.S. The original stud seals from Empi were steel and rubber NOT plastic. |

Repro GT valve covers do not have the original Empi part number stamped inside them... Beware.

The valve covers were originals and I have had both metal and plastic inserts and yes I have 2 pairs of re-pops also that Ralph traded me for parts so I do know the difference it's no secret who makes the re-pops 😉 |

It's not ovepriced too. It paid €37,58 EUR/$48,00 USD for, shipping cost included. If you want to buy one, be careful as they are 2 versions They are available through The Samba http://www.thesamba.com/vw/classifieds/detail.php?id=786740 |

I have one of those, I think it was prowagen that sold them, I might be wrong, as it doesn't have an invoice with it. |

 This came today. Won it for peanuts. Really cool shot of the 1-NED gasser at the 1972 Gatornationals. Such a cool shot. Wonder if the driver is still alive? |

Dennis E Grove (717) 632-1555 Or you could send a letter if that's your speed. 431 Park Heights Blvd Hanover, PA 17331 That photo is pretty significant. That was the first year for the Import National Event which means that a Volkswagen was the first to do it and that's the photo of him getting his prize. He's even wearing his Modified Eliminator jacket. |

  The mail lady was good to me today. Got some more stuff for the gasser project! Looks like I won't have to worry about gaskets for the valve covers. The originals are REALLY nice, so I lucked out. Cam and gear are NOS Deano! |
