Nelly 1 Posted February 25, 2013 Here is a picture of a precrossflow one I am sure it would fit a crossflow if you could find one. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lotuscops 73 Posted February 26, 2013 Well that superspeed cover looks a lot taller than a normal rocker cover to me but you could be right about a standard steel one I had that problem with my 1600E years ago when trying to use one of those polished ally covers with the chrome cap - it made a terrible din when I started it up - frightened the life out of me. :tears: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
