Default Help Finding Specific Valve Covers

These are the ones I like but can not find. Must be notched for alternator. Found several sets without the ball milled grooves but can't seem to find this exact set. Help would be great!

Send a message to the eBay seller. I am sure they have the ball milled ones available.

Couldn't find anything from Billet Specialties but I did send a message to four vendors on eBay. Hopefully something will turn up.

None of the eBay vendors had anything like this. I did find these but the website seems kinda strange. Any input???

Yep, it looks just like them. Good price too. I machined the ball mill out of mine and inlaid some stainless after a paint job. Just wanted to be different.
