Hi. Everywhere seems to be sold out of rocker covers. I want a nice blue one for my mini, however I have high lift rockers. There’s some on eBay which I’ve found however I’m not sure if it’ll be ok with my rockers. The guy has replied saying he can’t see why it wouldn’t fit without hitting the cover.

https://www.ebay.co....et/184266224112

Has anyone used these before? Or could let me know as everywhere else says they don’t know when they’ll have them back in stock.
Cheers

Mini spares own say it’ll clear for them but are sold out for how long they don’t know. The other ones say they will and some say they won’t.

I’ve got a standard steel one which is corroded and I want a coloured one. Looks like I’ll just have to wait until mini spares own make will be back in stock. As the others won’t clear by the sounds of it.

Get a standard steel one, you won't have any issues with rocker contact then ?

I’ve got the MG cover. Maybe I’ll sand it down and have it painted then.

They don’t always clear high lift rockers.

It’s been on for years and never had trouble with clearance on mine.
Could you link me to one you would recommend?
Thanks

If the 1.5s are already fitted and it clears then happy days - clean it and paint it. 

You could even then sand the paint off the top of the fins & polish up for a slightly different look.
