1995 Cobra valve covers

[Vinnietbird]

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?

I always thought the cobra covers were the same as the explorer/mountaineer.

nvm google says I was wrong.

I think they may be visually similar, but there's some kind of difference.

 

[stykthyn]

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?

 

[stykthyn]

thats odd.
