Default Alloy rocker covers for classic Ford engines

Hi All, hope it's ok to post this here if not, mods please remove.

I've started a small foundry in Ireland and I make a range of custom cast alloy rocker/valve covers for Ford engines including the Essex V6, Pinto and Crossflow engines. My website is currently under construction but you can see some of my work on my facebook page.

All my covers can have the lettering changed to whatever you want as long as it fits.
My email is john@jrcast.com
Essex 3.0

Pinto

Crossflow

Covers look great. You may want to consider making Triumph ones as well, they are still quite popular.

Thanks for the comments, I thought there wouldn't have been much of a demand for the Rover V8 covers as there are alloy ones available fairly cheap but I've been getting asked for them lately so they're in the queue to be done. I need to get a set of heads to make the pattern from and for testing the fit of finished ones.
Would the Triumph one be for the straight 6?
Chevy ones are others I've thought about doing but it's impossible to get heads here for reasonable money.

Triumph straight six and four still popular. (see Sammio and A352 threads for just two examples)
