Hello all

Not been around for ages due to work/sick/family.

Quick question for you, on the older Replika where the CF rocker covers are attached in the middle by two bolts, what do the bolts locate to ? Is the Mag rocker cover itself drilled or is there a captive bolt on the outside of the Mag rocker cover that the CF bolts attach to ?????

Answers on a postcard to the usual address please ....... or even better a pic if you've got one .

Dude,

I looked at this for a guy in the states.

The CF covers bolt into the head covers which are drilled and tapped.

When I get a chance I will take mine off and take some photos for you

Firstly the Replika does not get the magnesium rocker cover - it has to make do with a normal heavy one. The screws go into tapped and threaded blind holes. They appear to be into some sort of boss that allows the holes to be deep enough to accept the bolts without going right through. It might be unique to the model!!
