Commonly asked questions
Question:
I bought a set of these valve covers approximately three years ago for a customer and they had a slightly duller finish than the intake manifold we were running, do you have something that matches the H****y manifold?
Answer:
When Carroll Shelby first started Manufacturing cobra valve covers in the 60’s the only finish available was the sandblast finish, which is a little bit duller than current steel Shotblasted finishes. The manufacturers indicated that they do not wish to Shotblast any product that has cobra on it as it would cause them to carry double inventory inventory and would not look authentic. However we were able to convince them to put a stainless steel shotblast finish on the plain fin style of this valve cover we ordered (we just had to order 25 sets).
Question:
I have purchased product similar to yours, but it hasn’t been sandblasted and is very rough. Can you make it look like your air cleaners?
Answer:
Yes I can, but due to the overwhelming amount of aftermarket air cleaner components that have been sent to us, we can no longer keep up with the demand; so at this time we are not accepting exchange or conditioning other manufacturers product.
