Frank, you could get some swap meet aluminum running boards from a pick and cut it up.

If you can't find a round one to fit, cut the top off 3 of those cheap Cal Custom ribbed valve covers, weld them together and then cut a circle out of them to fit.

I always took you for a smooth and slippery type of dude. I didn't know you preferred the look and feel of the "ribbed" ones...

Too small. I want to hide the throttle body.

it's not often i post here but this seems like a simple foundry job. cut a disc out of m.d.f. add 3/16 per foot for shrinkage. layout your pattern for the ribs and glue some tapered wood strips the size of the ribs to your pattern  and have a local foundry cast one.  i would use an alloy like 356.2.

Sounds like it may be an idea. I'll have to see if we have a local foundry any more.

I want a finned air cleaner top for my Buick. I want a finned one that matches the valve covers. I also want it to be round, and between 12" and 14" diameter. The fins I am looking for are about 1/2" apart, 1/8" thick, and 3/8" high. I can make one on my mill, but I see a lot of hours, and one mistake will ruin it.

Any suggestions?

I just bought an air cleaner assembly from Rodworx.com .They were very prompt on delivery and the unit is a nice piece. I also bought a set of finned aluminum center bolt valve covers to match. Check them out.

Same idea, but too small. I ordered one like the above post, I can live with that.
