Dimitri,

Rather than use heavy adjustable pushrods, if the thread size of the adjustors is the same size as the group A rocker thread then you could shorten the adjustor and cut a slot in the top for adjustment and then use fixed length Chrome Moly tubular push rods.

Alternatively I think Real steel do a range of different size cups so you can make up a set of custom pushrods, might be easier.

Kevin.

I looked into pushrods a while go before I sold my group A rockers, as they are a pain to source pushrods for. In the end, by the time you weigh up how much the Group A rockers cost, the custom pushrods/adjusters, maybe shaft supports etc and all the faffing around, it's sooo much easier to just go out and buy some roller rockers, which can be had for about £400 and will do a much better job than some 25yr old volvo cack.
RIP MGB V8 .... served me well as a learning curve.
