    Bolt on rocker covers fitting

    Thank you all for your replies. I think I will stay with my original covers. I’m going to order a load of service parts today so I will add two cork gaskets. You never know they may take me over the £50 for free postage.

    M plate not attached

    Just going through stuff in my garage. I seem to have accumulated lots of nuts bolts and bits I found my M plate which has never been attached to the bus. Not since I’ve had it.

    Pushrod tubes

    Cheers all. I don’t want to go one piece if I can help it. I don’t want to pull the engine or loosen the heads. I know £15 was cheap I can’t understand how 1 was £4.99 but 8 with seals was £15 🤔🤔. It’s going to be a January job anyway so Karlos I may go with your recommendation
