The originals are not polished chrome, they are aluminum

Hmmmm. Do I go with the polished chrome that is original in all other respects or do look for an aluminum? Open to suggestions. Thanks,

Keep in mind I have my overflow tank stripped of its paint and now lovely exposed brass.

DId you talk to coupeking? The matte zinc goes well with the aluminum valve cover, the chrome will contrast too much imho

I agree with Steve on the mat zinc look, even with the black valve cover:

The one on my CSI is steel. It looks a bit like aluminum because it was vapor blasted, but it is definitely steel. Must be German aftermarket...

You guys are not making this easy for me. But what is when it comes to coupes. I look at one and think the way to go. Look at the next, the way to go. And on and on.
I am leaning towards the chrome from Keshav. But will give it a rest and return tomorrow for a final look and choice. In the meantime, feel free to chime in.

thanks, steve

It was Steve Hose who converted the shop to the carb path. That’s the engine Steve wants...
10:1 euro 3.5 engine with 123 ignition and triple webers. I’m shipping it out of USA in March.
Headers.... custom built head.... cam ....
Steve should come and try it before it leaves.
 
keep in mind “Ohne luftung”

is without vent ....
