Need some good quality 1.3 roller rockers to go on my engine - any recommendations (heard the Minisport items are OK)??
I see they aint cheap so would rather get some advice before taking the plunge.
Cheers gang.
Niall.
PS Not had much response to this query in another part of the forum so i thought i'd try here!

minisports ones are ok, like the way they make them from a stick of rock, 8 halfs of a cloths peg, macaroni roller tips and weetabix rockr supports...

well, you asked for a quality product.......
the vendor of these (not me, im just the conduit who was trying to help......
) made a few sets of 1.3:1 rollers (at my request) as they where a product that isnt currently stocked at ms, so as such he is allowed to sell them himself.

Niall, my Minispares 1.5 roller rockers were fitted to my racer 4 years ago and they have been fine.I made my own alum spacers.

Cheers for nudging me in the right direction gang
- order now placed!
Mike - sorry to hear that you've hung your racing overalls up but hope you're enjoying 'retirement' and no doubt see you out and about sometime.

Didn't bother with the steel pushrods as original ones do the job just fine and I'd rather bend one of those than break anything else.

Any tips on centreing them up over the valves and Mike- where did you source the material for your spacers and what were the dims for it?
