I just got a set about an hour ago. I have heard that theMN-12 Thunderbirds share the same covers but without the "COBRA" letters. I have a set of both (MN-12 Thunderbird covers, steel crate motor covers, and the Cobras), and they are not the same. The Crate motor and T-Bird covers seem the same, other than color. BUT, the Cobra valve covers seem heavier, and solid as a rock. What is the difference with them?
cobras apparently have the word cobra stamped into them. otherwise they appear to be the same casting. At least as far as I can tell.
Side by side they even seem different. As if the Cobra cover is thicker, or possibly (maybe I'm thinking too much) double walled?
