The T&D race rocker requires head work.  The head has to be milled down on the top so that a common bar can be placed on it.  The bar is held down by the head bolts/studs and individual paired rockers bolt to the common bar. 

You can't buy individual T&D rockers that will work with any shaft and stand.   Most of the T&D rockers have needle bearing fulcrums and do not use standard FE shafts.

Will you be doing a batch of adjustable rollers anytime soon Brent ?

I saw the Shelby ones being made at a place called Rocker Arm Specialist or Specialties... in northern California. They had all sorts of rockers that were other brands for uncommon engines like Kenne Bell Buick ones and some Volvo and MG ones .

 So they are US made. The Chinese have found a way to make paper mache look like metal.

Since I found out that POP offered their rockers with a cup adjuster up in the rocker body, I quit offering the special adjustable ones from HS. 

With that being said, I’m direct with HS and can request about anything if someone wants it, but if I were going to that length, I would use Doug’s rockers first.
