I wasnt going to post on this, then decided, what the hel*, why not.
The original idea of the non bushed Harland Sharp came about when I approached H/S, as I saw Crane going under, and was looking for a option that perhaps I could make affordably, to replace the Crane Golds. At that time, it didnt appear Crane ( S&S now) was going to be coming back anytime soon. The Indy ( Dove rockers) werent anyones favorite, the Probes were being sold off, whith some of the Fords going to one guy, and ultimately the Mopar Probes being bought out by Dave Hughes. At that time, I also didnt know how soon the Hughes would be up and running, nor if they would be making any changes to the Probe rockers.
As many of you know, I was a big proponent of the Harland Sharp rockers, always had good luck with them, and promoted them strongly. I decided to see if we could develop a new UN BUSHED rocker, using the Harland Sharp extrusions, that would be a replacement for the Crane Golds. I spent several months going back and forth with ideas, testing on different heads, measurements etc. Dwayne Porter was also involved, as I valued his input, and we always bounced ideas of each other, so we came up with what I thought was a good rocker, within a price point that would work, and be of decent quality, and good value. What I ended up using,wwas a BBC rocker body, bored to fit the valve centerline and dimensions of the BBM heads. My focus at that time was on Edelbrock and 906 style heads, as I thought thats where the market for that style of rockers would fit best. The biggest challenge was going to be trying to find a decent rocker shaft and adjuster screws.H/S wanted to use a different color anodizing, or perhaps even natural aluminum color, to differentiate from their premium roller rockers. In fact, they didnt even want to call them H/S rockers, but simply private brand them. I still have all the rockers, demos, and prototype pieces, which I can post up when I get to the shop again.
Now for the fun. As I was doing all this, and never mentioned to me ( which I have my doubts about anyhow), their all of a sudden was " another" party, doing " the same thing". Sparing a lot of boring details, it appeared that my work was used for another supplier, that had deeper pockets than me, and next thing I know, my efforts appeared to be used to help someone who was going to order more sets than I could afford. I'll stop at this point with my comments...lol...and let you all read between the lines from here.
I also got them to start making rockers that actually fit the geometry of the Edelbrock and Stealth heads, which they now offer as an option, and is really the corredct rocker to use instead fo the standard series, which fit iron heads better.I wanst happy witht he fitment, so did some measureing and gave them a dimension to move the axles where they need to be.
Fast forward to current times, and I see no need for these products over the last few years, as Crane has re-introduced their gold rockers, and Hughes has put out a nice quality rocker, which is one of the best bargains out there in my opinion, for THAT TYPE of application.
And now you know, the " rest of the story"....
) and don't look back 
I have a set of the very early Harand Sharp 1.5 from the mid 1960s on one of my street motors, they had been abused and misused prior to me buying and using them, there still rolling right along without any issues 
) they have more ratio than advertised, not less like a lot of the other rockers out there 
anyone know if they are bushed or bearings?
. I purchased the "limited edition" Bushed Harland rockers from Mancini racing to go on my mild street build 440 with 440 Source heads.I am planning on putting the motor in this winter. Did I make a mistake?

In all sincerity Dan, Have a pleasant day!
