sig erson rocker adjuster needed
I have just put another motor in a 68 Baja after dropping a valve.Was installing the 1.4:1 ratio rockers when i found a broken adjuster.These are a
little diffrent to usual vw type ones as they adjust on the pusrod side not the valve side.They also have a allen head not a flat screwdriver
adjustment.
Any leads would be greatly appriecated.
Thanks
Scott

I recall "performance warehouse" in Melbourne was a distributor for erson products
and the adjusters are common for V8 products.
They used to sell the VW kits and advertised in VW power magazine all those years ago(it was the eighties)
If no luck I think old Chrysler V8 adjuster may fit.(273 to 318ci )

From memory the Erson rockers came with a male ball on the adjuster
and a femail cup n the pushrod.

That is good to know that they have been updated, at least it will be easier to get a new one.
