Question:
On this set-up,at the exhaust rockers on the end,is there suppose to be a coil washer?Or does this set-up run a flat washer only?

Pretty sure it's flat washer only. Like a Cooper S.
I'll check mine tomorrow if you like. :wink:

Thanks-Much appreciated.
This set-up has only flat washers-no coil washer and very noisy at number No1.(clearance checked and double checked).

If there's room for a coil washer fit it, otherwise make a thicker washer to take up the slack.
Are you sure it's not a worn bush....

OK I just checked mine- yes they DO have the coil spring each end, and a flat washer.

You buy these Minispares forged rockers as a kit- all you get is the rockers, a HD shaft and 4 new posts.
You make your own arrangements regarding using your old parts on assembly. I apparently had room for the coil springs. 8)
