Brickwerks.co.uk sell genuine (not cheap) and aftermarket (a lot cheaper) The genuine ones won't need fettling. Not sure about the others.
Theres also AH Schofield. I think theirs will be aftermarket.

I don't think leaving it ticking over will do it.

Its will be tappet bleed down. Take it for a couple of miles run.That usually sorts it.

I wonder if some clueless previous owner has used them to jack up the van?

Personally, I think a good waxing is preferable to a cover.

My late 1991 rods are straight.

Time to go stainless steel methinks.
