Cant really tell from the pic... I use the reverse lip
covers from MP and still have to clearance the cover
and gasket to clear the springs





Are those the ones that the top was ribbed, and is about 1/2" thick? If so, I've had a set on the shelf for 3-4 years that I'm trying to decide what I want to do with them. I like the looks of yours - the polished look is what I'm shooting for, but I want to toss them on a Bridgeport and put them on a "diet".

I already had tubes welded into them for breathers, but I can knock them back out to do some milling. I figure on milling the insides to lighten them, then milling the ribs off the top and smooth the covers for polishing, maybe a custom logo CNC'ed into the top. Nice covers, just a little "chubby"...
