I have had 2 Dart snap the little fork guide. Don't know what came first, the chicken or the egg. I'm eliminating them all together and going with Yella Terra rockers this year. They are nice pieces and a cool design to eliminate side to side movement and deflection.

That's why I wanted to start this thread. It doesn't surprise me they just look underbuilt.

I went over them at PRI. It's tough to explain how they work, but with the mounted base pinned and shank/stud it is pretty neat.

I just looked them up and watched a YouTube video on them. Pretty cool. Pricey but when you compare to the price of an engine tear down and who knows what parts destroyed - well worth it. I only saw the video on the ls ones. Evidently their built in Australia. Their getting their chit together over there since they stopped killing so many kangaroos. Rookie on the BBC ones we'd use are the rocker sockets adjustable? Looks like they have set screw to hold the socket in place keeping the right angle/geometry. I might be way off on this??? Just took a quick look.

I'm going to have to have a better understanding with these. I'm just not seeing single stud mount adjustment. Explain a little when you can or a link.

Heavy duty for sure. I never realized anodizing process actually softens alloys so clear aluminum only. Learn something everyday.
