Maybe he didn't want to pay $2,000 (or more) for real Motion BBC valve covers? The moment he put out an ad for real ones the price would go sky-high. Just as well because people would then complain that real valve covers had been "wasted" on a boat! Fake covers allow him to get his boat out and run it without fear of "ruining" real Motion covers. (Just employing a little Internet chat-room logic here...)

I'll offer him my original Motion BBC valve covers for half of that $2,000. I'll even offer him MINT restore original Motion Emblems for $650. Show me the last time a set of original BBC Motion valve covers brought $2k?

Maybe its because I'm a Corvette guy but if you take the time, effort, and money to restore an awesome-rare piece, going the extra mile to painstakingly perfect every detail should be a necessity. I would have rather seen period correct MT BBC valve covers over those ebay special repops.

Not my boat, excuse me for commenting.
