Default Will 993 valve covers fit a 964?

A quick search on my mobile didn't show anything useful.

Interesting question. The prices are very different. Pelican's website says they only fit the 993's. If you need new valve covers, have you considered these?

I have never seen or heard any indication that the 964/993 parts are interchangeable

Thanks. I jumped on a set of used 993 lowers on the for sale section and had to back off. Was a shame as they were only $30 shipped.

I've seen the Hargett ones, but never these. Anyone ever use them?

I believe the EBS racing ones are plastic. I too am intrigued about how well they will work compared to the original (very expensive) magnesium covers.

If I hadn't replaced mine with the imagine auto aluminum covers, I would give the EBS ones a go at that price.

Just got off the phone with EBS (no affiliation) and the $65 each ones are aluminum. They sell the billet aluminum ones for $185 a pair, but the regular aluminum ones at $130 a pair may be what I do.

He did say that some of the 993 covers are plastic. Another reason not to have a 993.
