Thanks guys. Im contemplating getting one of those chinese copies for now and seeing what quality is like.

Im in no rush though and its not number 1 or even number 10 on my list yet. If a genuine one came up in the meantime i wouldnt say no though

Not on this particular part I don't think. AFAIK they were originally manufactured by a Canadian company called Gemini.

Ouch thats not cheap and I'd get stung for import tax. Think Ill have to pass on that one. If it was in the UK then I'd go for it but with international shipping and the dreaded import duties Itll make it stupidly expensive.

Some of the copies do not drill out/mold holes for the bolts to sit in (like the original ones have) so if you get a copy like that be careful when tightening the bolts (or you might crack the cover).

If its that naff I'd send it back. It'd look shocking with raised bolts.

no idea about the durability of aquagrafix as the spark plug cover but might be worth looking into.
