WTB. URGENT. Cut to length pushrods for 1600.
novasmic - October 28th, 2013 at 07:53 AM

Hi all. Just built my 1600 TP engine with new scat heads and scat 4-1 rockers and the standard pushrods are too long. I'm looking for a set of adj pushrods and measuring tool if possible. If you don't have any spare ones in your shed that you never got to use does anyone know who might stock them here in oz?

I'm located in Newcastle

Pm, text or phone call would be great.

Well, I priced around today - $180+GST
I will just have to wait a few more days and buy them direct from SCAT. $57.00 USD...only light wieght and small in size. Freight shouldn't be that bad. I guess i was just thinking on the off chance that someone might have a set hanging around.

thanks again for your replys..

For 57 they would be uncut I'd say. You still need to set the right length up and have them cut by someone with a lathe.

Yep, me. The ones for 180. Needed to be cut aswell.

You did call rod right? You could just get them from pierside parts... I've always had good service from them.

I just bought a complete engine in parts from DRD in the states, saved thousands.

scats are about 80 or less locally, and you'll have them tomorrow. For 180 you must have been quoted on mantons or something.
