Where do you buy chrome mastercylinder and radiator covers?

Hello
I am interested in a chrome master cylinder cover and a rad cover that would replace the factory plastic one as seen in the pic.

I dont know the owners of the cars and i hope its ok showing these pics without their permission.

I have seen the master cylinder covers on more than one car but the rad cover i have only ever seen on that yellow IROC. Hopefully the owner can jump in and point me in the right direction.

Thanks

Hey speedmachine: so you are looking for a rad cover are ya? well you are in luck since you live in Toronto, you can get the same one as the one on my car at Straight-Line Racing...22 Munham gate (inbetween Ellesmere & Lawrence off Kennedy) here is the number 416 757-9804 the owner's name is Andy and he still has a few of them on the wall...I saw them today when I was there, tell him I sent you!
also he can get you a cover for the Master Cylinder, there that wasn't hard now was it?

I dont know about the rad cover, but the master cylinder cover can be bought through Billet Specialities. The master cylinder cover is not very cheap I think that I payed like $70 bucks , or something. there are cheaper ones out there, but from the ones that I have seen none have looked this good.

Good luck on your quest for shine

Yeah, but is it a direct replacement? Or did you have to modify it a little bit?

i would get one, but it will not work on stock dual or single electric fans, those fans mount to the radiator support cover.

If you want to keep it inexpensive for the master cylinder cover, go to Mr Gasket Company for a plastic snap on cover that goes over your stock cover for less than 20.00 bucks, that's what I have..
