Hi all,
First post here so here goes.
I'm currently in the process of restoring a 1950 Morris Minor Tourer (It's very rusty) but becoming less so slowly. Originally these were fitted with 918cc Side Valve engines, but I've also got my hands on an Alta Head OHV conversion, which was missing a number of parts that I have been steadily accumulating.
The latest part I am looking to get re-made is Push-rods (and inter-tappets, which are a mix between a push rod and a valve which sit in the block where the original valves would've gone, basically making a two part pushrod). I've got my hands on a set of originals which I was hoping to get measured up so some new ones can be made (I also recently did this with the Valves and it worked well).
With Valves I managed to get a tip off from someone else who has done something similar (G&K Valves, if you're interested [no connection]) but I've had no such luck with push rods.
So, does anyone have any recommendations or ideas of where I could get some made?
Thanks in advance,
Will![]()
