I saw some of the Big M valve covers that Y Bloke makes for the Y block and was wondering if he was still in business.  I sent a message via Messenger last night but haven't heard anything back.  Figuring that's probably not a good sign.  Just thought I'd ask here.  

Thanks.  

https://acecustoms.co.nz/products/ has cast aluminum Mercury Y-block valve covers. The advertised price is $380, but the monetary exchange rate is in our favor. They also have Y-block cast aluminum valley covers. I bought their valley cover. Allow up to 21 days for shipping, but my valley cover took 2 weeks. Shipping was very reasonable, and there were no customs fees/holds. Initially, I had considerable trouble contacting them to place my order, because NZ was locked down for the covid pandemic. Once I was able to place my order, I was very pleased with their communication, service, and the product.   

Those look pretty cool...but those Big M ones that Y Bloke has are dreamy...

These are the ace customs covers on the Merc block in my cabrio. They also cast a custom aluminum gauge panel to my drawing for my tbird. Great people to work with.

Nice!

BTW...I heard back from YBloke today- he's getting another casting run together that sounds like will take about 14 weeks until they're both cast and polished.  

Thanks!

He is still in business, try contacting him on facebook.

Bought an ACE valley cover a week ago, well made, but came unpolished. He has now updated web site. The one I expected and the one I received. Not such a good deal now I have to have it  
polished.
