Roller rocker discussion - split from Tony's project thread

[dnb]

I'm looking for roller rockers for the Rover v8 - need to be as cheap as possible!

Not too sure if the ones on Summit will fit - they aren't advertised for the Rover, but the specs say they might fit.  JEGS don't seem to have anything at all.

Can any Chevy parts be convinced to fit?

in the market for some myself.

yella terra ones apear cheeper 'down under' but postage and vat are a problem. I was in talkes with a customer of aussi MNR who may be able to sort some out

Kenne bell do/did a set but cant find a stockist of these any ideas anyone

Kenne Bell are not made any more, so are impossible to get now.

Would buying 2 (or more) sets make the price any more favourable for importing? 

[Tony C]

i could be interested, but it all comes down to the cost.

Have you seen this site:  http://www.tsimportedautomotive.com/  If you look up the performance parts for the TR8 then it lists roller rockers for the Rover v8 for $425.  (US->UK exchange rate is still favourable)

[Agriv8]

if you look at the large picture on on the link bellow ( thanks v8tuner !!! ) i think they are yella terra part no YT6000 - wont post it up because it large

Looks like price permitting we are on the first stage of the first 'VEMS forum group Buy'. I am awaiting response from Marc's customer in Aus who has Some 'Faulty parts'    to return from the last kit car shipment.
