Hmmm........We have T&D rockers and we have the pushrods I showed above.

Buy the adjusters from someone else if you have to

I think i'll buy H&S. by the time i add spares to the mix & add the price of new adjusters, convert the currency to our $ plus freight, we're going to be spending over $2k of our money. H&S will be more ecconomical with a Summit Code i was PM'd.

Hey, could have been worse... T&D could be in Georgia (where my Mom's family came from and where 3 of my 4 step-brothers still live). The conversation might have gone more like this:
Rebel: G'die, mite. Ahm intrested in...
T&D: Haaayyy! Anyone ever tell ya' y'all talk funny?
Rebel: Die, Yankee bahsturd, die!!!
T&D: Who you callin' a YANKEE???

Brad, your not far wrong except I'm a kiwi not an ozzie. Accent similar but slightly more refined. First guy at T&D gave up as soon as I asked for the rockers. 2nd guy wanted me to send him an email. I told him to naff off, ain't gana happin coz ya dang bloody Anza dem. Once he got a handle on my accent we were away.
Unfortunately even tho they have ball type adjusters, they can only be fitted to some Buick or Oldsmobile rocker. So it looks like I'll be having copper gold looking rockers for next season

OK, so 20+ years ago I'm sitting in the Newark, New Jersey, airport on a 3-hour layover between Washington, D.C., and Los Angeles. (Such was the downside of finding cheap airfare.)

I'm having a nice talk w/ a guy in the waiting area killing time and all I know is he's got an accent. So, I ask him what part of Australia he's from... and he gives me a total death stare and tells me he's from New Zealand, not Oz. Hey, us stoopid Americans can't tell the difference! grin

G'Day Mate! If you buy new rockers, chances are you will need a different length pushrod anyway. T&D is very specific on where they want their adjusters to run in the rocker. Leaving only a turn and 1/2 either way for adjustment and won't guarantee them otherwise.
