Fitting rocker outrigger posts

If I get some rocker outrigger posts from JE, should I expect problems with them not exactly matching the heights of the original middle two posts; I.e, will I need to shim up and/or grind down to get them all to match to prevent bending the rocker shaft.

I'm also using Kenne Bells, which are wider than normal rockers, which I'll have to ask him about.

I made my own for KB's including the central pedestals, cost around £130 at local engineers made up in aerospace alloy.

Can send you the drawings if you want. I also have the dims for alloy spacers to replace the springs (just fit spring shim washers to allow for expansion).

Aye, please could you send me them. How do you want to do that; by pm or email? What format are they in? Did you have the original alloy pedestals in the middle, and dud you have the aforementioned issue with alignment?

My rocker assemblies have solid spacers already, but not with washers. They have about 0.5mm clearance against the rockers which I think is fine.
