“I little more tricky to install relative to lining up the nuts but a simple YouTube video did 5he trick. The replacement part is much better than the original in 5hat the chrome paint that was falling apart is gone.”
“Looks very nice in the black. Was a little difficult installing which if I had a magnetic screwdriver would have been easyier. Super fast free shipping.”
“compared to the peely, chromy, dirty tooth plastic that used to be there this black cowling is a big improvement. We've had Miss Silvia for over 10 years, and this upgrade (along with replacing the grouphead gasket) was long (very, very long) overdue.
if you know what i'm talking about, you owe yourself this.
@espressoparts it'd be great if you put a link to the installation instructions. it's not a hard installation, but it's nice to start from somewhere.
@you, you can just duckduckgo rancilio cowling replacement for details.”
“Replaced the old “chrome” cowling on the Silvia that was chipping slightly, but had broken at the screws. I had re-glued it numerous times but this was a nice replacement. Was slightly larger than the previous.”
“This is the second time I've replaced the cowling on my Miss Silvia. Both times the chrome coating on it began to flake and peel off, but now my problem is solved forever with this black (hurray!) cowling. It looks great on the machine! It's about time Rancilio decided that if they can't or weren't willing to solve the problem with the chrome piece, that they would take another tack. The black cowling is a winner!”
