I have just purchased a cover and maybe some day I might be able to afford a roller rocker set up.
anyone know??

Two other options are a welded aluminum one from Sissell's Automotive in Covina,CA but it is more of a race looking set-up. There is also a guy making an adaptor to use the early 235 cover on the 292 and that will also clear and adds a nostalgia touch. He advertises in The 12 Port News (club magazine for Inliner's International). | | |

It sure looks tall enough and hard to imagine jack clifford not having it clear. yes i know about that guy "wow  e zoweee" it's $300.00 ++ for that adapter !!! sorry but no

Only the adaptor plates and true custom covers will work with rollers. Pretty pricey is right! | | |
