hey guys, i'm trying this in the itr forum too, but someone here in the cosmetic section might have the definite answer...

there's a lot of coverage on the mugen valve cover in the archives that i found...many words spent on authenticity and its "value", but i couldnt find any info on its installation which i hope someone with knowledge can comment on...i hope actual owners can chime in.

i've been considering acquiring the cover for a while now, and i'm looking towards the possibility of a used one as we all know how pricey these things are brand-new. (this is not a thread on validating or ridiculing spending on the cover btw, just want "technical" advice on its application ...lets not waste space by arguing over the subjective)

anyway, some sellers i have found more often than not no longer have the hardware and package that is included from mugen when buying a brand-new cover. my question is, will the lenght of the stock valve cover bolts suffice and be long enough or will the cover "require" the provided hardware? also, will the stock gaskets work fine with the mugen or do i need special ones from mugen? i know i could possibly source the hardware from a parts/hardware store, but i'd like to pass on that headache...

i already messaged ausmith if the said hardware package is available seperately, so i'll see what he says. but if the answer is no, i dont want to be stuck with a used cover. ANY info on this greatly appreciated. i know i wouldnt be the first to buy a used mugen cover-thanks

 

why dont you ask the people in this thread who own the real one? https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=991176
