How much to make one for little old ME....

Thanks, at the moment, I'm testing out the mounting system to make sure no unexpected issues come up, and I have to get an accurate price on the steel (the place I bought the stainless gave me 16ga instead of 18ga, and the price was based on weight). So if all goes well I can get a price in a few days.

What I'm trying at the moment is using four pieces of black fuel injection hose, two on the rear rocker cover studs, and two on the ears on the fuel rail. The four stainless screws that you see on the cover hold four "stakes" that slide into the hose, so that the cover "seats" on top. My intention -- KISS -- is to keep it on good but still allow the service tech to be able to yank it off without major hassle (or chancing him messing the cover up). There is a punched out hole (top left corner) so that you can access the oil fill without removing the cover.

I'm guessing ballpark is $50-$60 plus shipping for stainless, a little less for galvanized if you want to paint it yourself. The cover would include the hose, clips and stainless screws and nuts and the edging around the cover.

I'll probably draw up some printable plans (template) for those that want to do it themselves, but let's make sure the mounting setup works first. I'd feel kinda stupid sending out units that don't work as planned.

So like I said, give me a bit to test it out.
