DIY Solid Rocker Shafts for Under $5

Hi Guys

I know his was discussed before

I decided to try it and I think it was successful

I Got a piece of off cut staimless 19mm ID X 25MM OD Tubing free of charge from a local engineering shop

19x25mm shims from a nut and bolt centre for around $3 and went about doing this .

Some of you might have a go at me for retainingvthe end retaining clips and the engineering shop was not prepared to cut ,tap and drill them for me

The result

I did the same thing on both of my engines. Working good so far.

Yes, McMaster Carr will not ship to me in Canada either. A US Samba member bought them and shipped them to me.
