Not as glad as i am

Still looking, having a break atm i'm thinking sump or wedged in somewhere !! i think it can only really fall into the sump anyway ??

How much are Yella's ? think i'll just fit a few new OEM's on atm as time is short...

I think the Yella's are about £400 is for the set.I know it aint as cheap as the fix,but apart from the reliability you even get a bit of extra lift
I know i'd be putting the LR std one on there if i was in your present position though,i'm just trying to tempt you!

Hmmm... i think they might be going on at some stage then Got to think about keeping up with the Salon engined boys


But i need it back on the road & tested in a day, ready for France

[Del 203]

I need to fit them tomorrow

[The AJP Griff]

Quinny,you were lucky to get your pukka steel rockers when you did.I wonder what the latest state of play is with the steel rockers?I know at one time they werent necesarily reliable from new,as some cheap stuff from china was around(i used to work for the company who sold all the tooling to the chinese),but that was a little while ago now,so there might be reliable quality sources available again?.You really have no option if you have to fit tomorrow Del,but you know that.

ps,if you want to keep up wih the saloon(i'm hoping you meant saloon,and not really salon,as in 'Gervaise'????)engined boys,i'd save your yella terra money and have a word with Mike Johnson first!!

[clive f]

definately go for steel ones, give Paul a call at V8 Tuner, 01953 607274.
there are also a lot of chineese made alloy ones on the market as I found out last year, pads fell off within 400 miles of fitting the damned things

Fit a normal one for now, but order a steel set for when you get back.

Quinny said:

Do I have to do all the thinking around here

Read 1st post

Quinny said:

Maybe we need someone like that guy with a Chim who used to post on the Griff forum all the time

Now what was his name now No don't tell me it'll come to me in a minute

Who ???

Quinny said:

Yep I've read the first post.

No idea what your getting at

I've already said i'm going to get & fit a rangie one a.m.


Are you gettin old or summit






Thanks all the help guys



Post torque anyone ?

Quinny said:

Yep I know that.

All I'm suggesting is to avoid it happening again. Why not fit steel ones when you get back from your trip.

Once the steel ones are fitted you can forget about them.



Also don't forget, when you go for your Rangie one, they're handed

Cheers Quinny, i know the handed thing Will certainly look into steel ones where did you get yours ?

Or i might just have to go with Salon boys idea
