Oldie but goodie - rockers

[Pupp]

Anyone know whether the decent rocker drought ever ended? Need a couple if anything worth buying is now available (just found half a pad after lifting a cover)? If not I might be biting the bullet and going Yella Terra...

I have yella terra roler rockers, only prob is using the spacer on the rocker covers, it's a complete ste to get it to seal without leaking

[Pupp]

Should be ok with the covers Nigel as I use the cast TVR type that don't have the baffles in them... any issues installing the YTs or did they drop straight in?

Got some serviceable spare OE LR singles Pupp how many do you need? I fancy the YT's too yes apparently the roller rockers do fit the TVR rocker covers ..... oh hang on I have a pair of them I reckon the lack of baffle mounting bosses help here

I have the TVR covers, what are the ones that you are referring too ?? any pics of them. Id love to get rid of the spacers, are you covers taller ?? yes they just drop in

[Pupp]

The heavier covers with the TVR logo actually cast into them (ie not a badge). They don't have the internal baffles or bosses so I gather they will go over rollers. Like rocking horse poo to source 'though. Not seen any come up for years now.

Recently bagged a pair of these freshly powder coated poorly listed on the bay

Hi, my original rockers have done 56k and the pads look fine.
I've also sourced new rocker shafts, springs and steel rockers.
Is it better to use the alloy rockers or go with the new steel ones?
Cheers.

Arse I'll have to look out for a pair, I know the ones. John eales and v8dev used to their own covers and even they are impossible to get

I have lost count the number of times I have tried to get the spacers to seal.

Not sure where you got the info from, but just to clarify:

Roller rockers will fit under the TVR cast covers, but you can have problems in the middle (twixt pots 3/5 & 4/6 where there is a dent in the covers) depending on the width of the rocker arms. Outriggers fit fine, beefier pedestals fit fine. Crane rollers fitted fine, Kenne Belles were too wide so had to grind a little off the corners and inside the casting. As with everything you have to check carefully for clearance on assembly.... They 'will/can' fit & they 'do' fit have subtly different contexts

Studs & long nuts work extremely well with these covers also which makes them actually quite a pleasant job to pop off & on

my old Chimaera had the cast TVR covers and they cleared the Yalla terra rockers okay

Interesting timing. I have non TVR rockers.
