Re: Rocker arm help

Thanks guys.
Simon, I've PM'd you.
Knud, my worry is the amount of metal left since they were butchered, bushes won't put much strength back and it won't make the cheeks any thicker. Rob, I might just drop them an email as you suggest but I think the material they use won't be tuff enough.

Rocker arm help

Hello all, I’m currently rebuilding a1935 Excelsior but the rocker arms are in very poor condition, can anyone suggest someone to refurbish them or better still make complete new ones as I don’t think I will be lucky enough to pick up any replacements. Thanks in anticipation, RC
