Engine lid - fair price?

[the_troupster]

Hi all,

Just wondering what's a fair price to pay for an engine lid?

I repaired mine a few years ago and its starting to look a bit rough again. Should I just replace or repair properly with new steel? I don't doing a bit of body work, but wondering if it's worth my time?

Cheers,
Jim

I see them go from 75 GBP for rough ones to 200 GBP for good ones.
Not really fair prices, but they are ever harder to come by in good condition.

I needed one recently and having seached all forums and a few shows there are very few {if any} decent ones left - price for a good one needing no work is nearing the 250 that it costs for a good quality repro Split lid - so I guess it won't be too long before these too start being made.

So I'm unlikely to pick one up for £20 then? :lol:

No bother, I'll soon hack some new steel into mine. At those prices I can justify spending 2 days on fixing mine up pretty good.

Cheers,
Jim

I don't know why they make repo lids for late bays but not earys!!
