Thread: BUICK aluminum valve covers,nailhead 53-66

  1. #11
    I have heard some bad things about NW speed co./Eelco. A lot of people claim to have been burned by them. Some had to fight to get their products and some never did. Customer service is supposed to be terrible too. To be fair, I have also read about people who were very happy with their products and service. I just thought I'd give a little warning.

    NW Speed is no longer in business, maybe the bad press is why.

    Lightbulb Aluminum Dress-Up Parts

    Hey Guys

    Mooneyes has No-name valley pans and valve covers.
    also....... There are Offeys and O'Brien Truckers

    somehow a Eelco Nameplate just doesn't sit well with me.

    Both are around the same price.

    Regards,

    Tom Gallagher

    Never Used

    Never used these guys but was about to order from them. I don't like the Eelco logo either but I was ata lost for these items. Tom I will look at offy and the others thanks for at least the chance to look at an alternative before I order.

    Talking Aluminum Valve Covers

    I like the Offy's with the rounded corners.

    I don't know if they make a matching valley pan

    I just found out that eelco is doing a limited production of valve covers that say nailhead on them. I got on the list for them; thought I would pass on the info. I also did some digging on the bad press thing. Turns out that nwspeed was a different company with a few guys in as partners. The guys that run eelco are the ones that left and took eelco with them. Anyhow; I have had nothing but good experiences. Carry on!
