As above. Would rather not ring him if I can based on previous experiences lol. They don't look like they have large enough cups for the rocker ends??

I managed to find a pic on the n'et of grp A rockers and the cups are huge, so no they wouldn't work. I did, however, get my hosuemate to call DJE up and they quoted me £1k for a roller rocker set up lol. . . . and about £300 for Titanium pushrods to suit the Grp A rockers.
That's not bad considering Mr Eales quoted me £260 for custom pushrods. So, in the unlikely uber-rare off chance that rare-as-hens-teeth pushrods come up to suit, what should i go for, Mr Eales or DJE Titanium (that's gotta be worth some beer rep down the pub lol
)

Have you checked Smith Brothers catalogue ? It depends of spring pressure but one non adjustable 5/16 pushrods regular 4130 for up to 400 LBS cost less than $10.00 each.
Do you know the size of the cup ?

Have a look at 1300 ford Xflow pushrods, I know of at least one old Rover Challenge racer who uses them without a problem, if you need longer, 1600 X flow

I have an french friend who has an Group A rockers/pushrods set in his garage. I will ask him if he can measure size of cup.
Smith Brothers sells 5/16 pushrods with two size for cup.

Just a thought, could you convert the cups to SBC size? then you have the choice of many manufacturers pushrods, I just got a set of 3/8 double taper jobbies in 4030 chrome molly, about £170 to my door, they wont bend (and I'm fitting 540 lb/inchsprings)

no the rocker end is a ball, not a cup. So the pushrods have to have a ball for the lifter end and a cup for the rocker end. Dont know the length either, meh.
