Can the factory wire loom tabs be removed without ruining the valve cover??? If so what the best way??
1972 Road Runner / GTX 440 4spd Dana 3.54 Just about to turn 26K original miles..
A boat, a GMC truck, some Craftsman Tools, LOTS of Zombie Protection, and a few Goldfish..
If you love someone set them free..
If they come back it means nobody else wanted them either..!!

they're just spot welded on, right? grind it off and skim coat it with bondo, spray bomb the color you want.
Cant do that as they will be powdercoated to match...No filler...
Well then I need a left side big block cover with no tabs...!!!!

They do make a "filler" that conducts current for powdercoating. I have no idea where you get it though. If you're careful you won't have any grind marks.

Parts no longer have to be conductive to powder coat,...powdercoating designs on GLASS is done now, the part can be repaired with a filler, as long as it can withstand 400 degrees for prolonged period of several hours,...a "primer" agent is sprayed on the peice first, that remains "wet" inorder to be conductive enough to charge it for attraction to the powder being sprayed,......if your powder coater is still "old school", you could lead the valve covers were the repairs might be needed, as body solder has a eutectic of approx 550 degree F, and is conductive

Eastwood sells a filler that says you can use it for powder coating.Not sure what the name was though.
Daniel, that would be "Labmetal",...was actually invented in Massachusetts by a local engineer, it's distributied by most Car Quest stores now, Eastwood offers it as a Powder Coat filler,....usually comes in standard form or hi temp, the hi temp pn# is 10288Z 24 oz, $55, and you need the solvent for smoothing/thinning pn# 10208ZP 1 pint $15
