One of my rockers is toast, the other is fine. I'm wondering which is better, swap both to FG or replace the bad one.

Your call. I like the steel rockers, but that's just me. Good ones tend to be expensive.
I had fiberglass rockers on my 74 1.8, and really had no complaint with them. I *think* that when they come new, you have to drill your own mounting holes. -Rusty |

Looks like the FG is the cheaper way to go. With all this car is gonna need, cheap is good!

Since you only need one - post a Wanted ad over at the Classifieds. I'm sure someone has a set in their stash.

Find somebody who is doing a GT flare or Sheridan widebody conversion and therefore replacing their rockers with the flared-end versions.
That's what I did...$30 for a pair of very clean steel OE covers. They needed repainting but the metal is perfect. |
