Quick questions, why does no one have normal (solid black plastic type...)

Was wondering though, if I get bare cylinder from a shop, can ...

I hope that you may be able to help, I am looking for some valve covers to fit

A couple of fairly simple twinset questions... Hopefully some people on here
understand the issues enough to be able to make a convincing case for their
