Looks very nice!

Do you think that they will be more than 100 quid? (

I'm seriously hoping they are sub 1000USD.

What you need with those is transparent rocker covers! Wonder if you could get some made from perspex or injection moulded maybe?

Look remarkably like the old KenneBell rockers they have the licence to make, but a different colour, I do like the pedistals and studded fixtures, I wonder if they sell them seperatly??

I've got a pattern for the pedestals if you want it, including outrigger ones, 4 of each cost me £180 in aero ally last time I had them made. The ally is featherweight compared to the steel versions

What is the weird 'marbling' on the spacers? I make ally tube into spacers but use wavy washers to allow for any heat expansion, cant see how you can get a nice tight location without using some kind of spring?

For a rough price guide look at the price of a V6 set, divide by 3 x 4.

I thought they may be a composite.

The spacers material is Nylatron GS rod.

Thanks for that. Sounds very interesting, strong & particularly like the slippery property.. Has it been used before as rocker spacers on other motors?
