For the pushrods, I would get an adjustable checking one, set it up, measure it, and order custom length pre-made ones. The cut to fit ones should be cut with a lathe, but I have used a hack saw cutting them slightly longer, and then grinding them to length. Not the best method, but it worked at the time. The pushrods I had also needed to be drilled for the tips to press in.

Had a 512 400 project for a client, it threw pushrods untill we changed from 1,6 to 1,5 rockers. Too little clearance between pr and portwall. The stealths were cnc'ed and he did not want more grinding on them....
1,5 rockers solved the problem. pr's were 3/8". 
Thanks, interesting info. I've already been grinding the upper pushrod holes to allow for increased clearance. On std Stealth there seemed to be a bit of meat there so no problem to make room I think. So you think with the proper clearance the 1.6 rockers would be ok?

If clearanced correctly for the 1.6 rockers, and pushrod lengths are RIGHT, you'll be just fine. They are a nice little rocker for the money...

Thank you folks for your feedback. I've contacted Hughes and expect to place a nice little order with them ASAP.

Yes, you see, this all good, but there is significant benefit if I can order all in one go. Seems that Summit has a minimum shipping cost of approx $100, so $150 pushrods + $100 shipping multiplied by approx 5% Duty and 25% VAT + postal fee adds up to (150+100)*1.05*1.25= $328 (plus another $15 in postal fee...)...for the pushrods only...

If you want to PM me your shipping info I can figure out how much it would cost to actually ship them to you, hopefully it would be a lot less .

Thanks John for the kind offer, but USPS has a nice website where I can easily check rates. It seems difficult to get under $50 for a reasonably fast shipment, with all charges it means over here minimum $50*1.05*1.25= $66.
Yes, we pay value added tax also on the import tax, i.e. paying tax on tax!!! Very innovative don't you think?
The Hughes delivery will cost me $125 (rockers, pushrods, hold down kit, oil pickup), i.e. total shipping cost parts at home $164. Currently unclear what type of USPS shipping they have in mind, if it's the 3-4 weeks delivery I will have to pay more to get the parts here in approx. 1 week...
