Hi all,
Having been pretty unimpressed with the quality of replacement standard rocker shafts and rockers I have decided to modify the existing arrangement to include bronze bushes on a narrower shaft. I’ve seen it done before in another but the thread on this forum died a death with no conclusion. My intention is to document the process, explain all the materials used and hopefully offer the service to others who might be interested.
I know there are lots of opinions about steel vs aluminium rockers and from where to get them etc etc. Could I ask this thread does not become another place for such chat. The idea here is for those who are interested to see the technical side of the project and it’s success or otherwise.
I’ll include pictures and measurements plus material specifications. Any useful comments most welcome.
