    I need one rather quickly as I managed to snap a lug off mine when absent mindedly tightening an earth onto it [8(]

    I have posted in the wanted section and scoured eBay but nothing there! Nothing listed on GSF site or vwspares/AVS.

    P.S. on the upside got the car running after sussing out immob problem and it sounds [:D]

    Cheers Mushy, Hotgolf has hooked me up with one fortunately so I can stop oil from sloshing around the engine bay! Will the gasket be re-usable or best to get a new one? It's not been on long, I would say 2 months tops on a static engine.

    Re-use it. I've not had problems re-using reltively new gaskets like this. As long as it's not obviously knackered.

    Sound, got some gasket maker also to stop the leaks at the corners so should be ok.

    Im selling one off my KR, can't see any immediate difference, I now have an ABF in my rado and the rocker cover looks the same, if your interested I can check the KR one against it!

    early covers are fixed with bolts

    later ones are studs & nuts

    so some of the early ABFs can use KR rocker covers, but make sure you have an early one before buying
