Corvette LS engine spares UK?

[brummiewedge]

Hi Guys, over from the TVR forum, as i have transplanted a stroked (6.3ltr) into a Cerbera. I am short of some rocker cover gaskets, The flowed heads are from a 97/98 vette
can anyone tell me of anyone in the UK that may have these in stock. Thanks.

Just to help others, these are the periferal rocker cover gaskets from the first lsx engines. They are bolted down around the edges and not along the centre.

May be worth gving Real Steel a try in West Drayton (West London) or US Autmotive www.usautomotive.co.uk/

Corvette Kingdom seem to carry reasonable stock of Vette parts, only other one I can think of is Rodley Motors Bradford/Halifax way www.rodleymotors.co.uk/

There are other people great for sourcing parts (and may even have some bits in stock) from the US, like Eric the Brave on here (Moving Parts) or Keith from Eurovettes.

Good luck!

I think I might have one gasket here...although its for a centre bolt style cover.

I'll probably be ordering some stuff from the US soon, and could add some to that order if you werent in any great hurry. No idea how much they are though

Brummie, I'm ordering stuff over the weekend.

Dont know, Ive never actually had a perimeter bolt cover. I did say the one I had was for a centre bolt cover though.

Good chance they are different.

Fancy buying a set of stg1 centre bolt heads ? lol

Looking forward to meeting some of you at the Corvette nationals on 23rd / 24th June.

Possibly a daft answer but as Vauxhall now sell LS1 & 2 powered cars you should be able to order spares from them.

Might be expensive though.

25 litres of fuel isn't going to get you far
