So, New and solid type.

I think $300 would be a fairly high price for those! Given the current exchange rate you can buy the best MED full roller rockers for around $500 (plus freight of course :wink: ).

Not excessive, just top dollar!

My 2c

Pressed steel 1.5's? i know it can be done, just didn't think you might actually get that much based money on old perceptions..

I paid $250 a few months ago for a set of as-new s/h Mini Spares forged 1.5 rockers. $300 for modified pressed steel items is a bit rich...

Is 1.5:1 even achievable with those? I thought the Doc had got 1.3:1 out of them... ? I'm sure he'll chime in :)

You won't ever get 1.5 out of pressed steel rockers with offset bushes, despite what that UK eBay seller calls his.
I made my own bushes with more offset (1.1mm) than the UK ones (0.8mm), and I got 1.31:1. Perfect for my 1132 Moke... :P

If you want Minispares forged ones, they are 1.58:1. I have a set in my 1360, they cost me £90 + import duty and GST, years ago. Current best local price I have is $466.25, from Karcraft. If they have stock.
These are a good rocker, many people race with them.
