    John,
    I am not on any official list that I know of but I have overspent my M3 budget this year. I have another little one in daycare so...the funds are tight. Thanks anyhow...maybe for next year though if you run another batch!

    no problem John. I knew you were interested but your name wasnt on any
    list, thanks for letting me know.

    can we get a head count who is still in? If we are less then 5 people,
    then there are other projects that are more urgent.

    Has anyone wondered how much more noise they will hear from the top end with this cover?

    Hi Andrew I think I really don't care how loud it would be. Our engines are sort of loud uncultivated allready ( unlike a Japanese engine ) :D

    BTW I am still interested and Steve has no choice he is in too :)

    It wont have M power lettering. The new version should be done
    some time in September and then Ill post pics here what it looks
    like. Id like to get 10 of them made. Until
    now there have been other projects getting in the way that had
    priority.

    Hi John G. looks like the CF valve cover could make it into your next years budget the way things are going, which is :cool: No pressure really would you like to add yourself to the list :)

    Cheers Thomas

    Hi,

    I read through the thread and i don't see a lead time. How many weeks will this take. Don't think I'm in a rush. The longer the better for me cash wise, but I would be interested if I knew a little more.

    I don't care about noise. I care if it will look good and that it won't leak. I don't require the filler cap, but it seems like this is the version thats being made.
    John are you putting the baffle on or would we have to transfer it from our old ones?

    Put me on the list if it stays at 600 Euros and will take 6-8 weeks.

    It wont go over 600 euro, it might come out less once the time & material
    have been more accurately calculated. Once we start production,
    as always I need FIRM commitments. Production time should not
    exceed 6 weeks, thats the idea of making an entire run of these
    at once.

    Unless youre running a dry sump, you need the filler cap and the breather
    on the valve cover. This could be deleted if desired.

    The vent plate and your filler cap will transfer over to the new valve cover.

    I don't need an oil filler cap, but the breather will be neccessary.
    This is for show, not go. :)
    I really like the 1st edition with the M Power......

    the current schedule is that we will finish the GB and then do the VC, it got pushed back due to the GB.
