I'm sure I saw these Rocker Covers, though with a more standard filler / cap on a turbo engine JanSpeed did, late 70's early 80's (I think).

I am certain that I have seen one of those before . . . it was exactly the same with that odd filler arangement.

Can't remember where though.

A couple more photos.
I'm not convinced the grille buttons are wrong - they're chromed which matches the plate.

The quality of the casting seems quite good, although no stamps or makers markings. The only bit that really lets it down is the quality of the Janspeed logo.

The logo does match this (early?) one, with the more upright A and rounded D (as opposed to the one on the well known rocker cover that Terence posted a pic of).
