Speak to either Mike (Dundee1000) or Neil (Dattoman1000). Neil can also be contacted at Race Brakes WA in kelmscott.

hmm now I look like a twit.

What happened? no enough work in the line of things? I would have though a performance brake specilist would go alright, or was the competition just too stiff.

Can you get rockers in thru your contacts Mike?

Rocket industries are the distributer that neil used to use.

If nothing else pans out, you could click on this link

Enter the part No. YT6023 into the search function. This is the Yella Terra part number for the whole roller rocker kit for A series Datsuns.
In fact it looks like being the ONLY engine part that they have listed for A series Nissan engines.

I bought a set of these on 30/07/04 & paid $696.55 for them plus Blood Sucking Tax of $69.66 bringing it to $766.21.
The $11.55 freight bill brought it up to $777.76.

If you can handle that, remember that you will need custom pushrods too.

These are lsted as being 1.55 to 1 ratio however the man at Yella Terra that I spoke to was adamant that that were 1.54 to 1 ratio. This is against the stock 1.44 to 1 ratio.

The 1.65 to 1 ratio rockers have not been available for some years.
It was a special order, so was non returnable & they are still listed so should still be available.

The damned cylinder head, complete with rockers & alloy rocker cover looks like it has cost more
than my KB10 coupe did when it was new.
The things we do.

EDIT
You could also click on this & navigate your way to here to see what they have on offer.
This page will also help you find a place where you can buy this stuff.

[It's amazing what a few moments with a search engine can find]

My rollers which are the yella terra ones at 1.55:1 ratio were just shy of $1000 thru Dattoman_1000 and that was about 12 months ago. Geez time flies.

These are as close to standard as you can get, and at the time Dattoman said that the 1.65 ones were no longer available thru rocket industries.

I am yet to fit mine thou, so i dont know how easy theu will be, or how much I will need to change the pushrods by.

The original Datsun pushrods are of the ball & cup design, but the roller rockers use the Chevy type adjusting screw which also has a cup, so the new pushrods will need to be a ball & ball type.
