towe001 Posted October 7, 2011 Report Posted October 7, 2011 I was updating the wiki today and and i came across this. Custom pushrods can be made to length from VW pushrods and using the A-series cup. They sit the turned down cup shaft on a ledge in the alloy. Custom made to your length and cheap. http://datsun1200.com/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?post_id=318349#forumpost318349 I know it says about the VW ones, but would you be able to get just the one new a12 push rod ? And then get them turned down to the right size. Or just maybe do the 5k push rods. Quote
ae824ate Posted October 7, 2011 Report Posted October 7, 2011 I have been thinking about this for a while, but i also know that 'custom' usually means expensive. Also, has anyone else ever noticed the difference in the ball and cup between the push rods (k series and datto's)? I might be pedantic but i don't like the dodgey sloppy fitment in the lifter cup and the tappet adjuster. I know under load they are always centered in the convex/concave of the ball and cup , but a nice machined match would be more gooderer. I think we might be going the gutted 5k hydraulic and 4k pushrod setup, its all up to Zowie (the boss). I just typed 16035 paragraphs on shit, but i decided to not give a f@$k atm. Quote
