Are they all the same?  (IE: 1951 A10 cast iron top end vs 1957 Road rocket or golden flash vs 1963 RGS  )

 I could not find a set of good push rods.

 A member (klaus) put me onto V.W. beetle "cut to fit" push rods.

 I cut them, they fit, and they are made of real metal.

 Just something to keep in mind.

Unless things have changed, the new SRM pushrods are solid and hence considerably heavier than the original hollow ones.

A couple of years ago C and D Autos provided me with a set that look like the originals.

Contact them at +44 (0)1564 795000 or email at canddautos@gmx.co.uk

They still have no online sales site but have always been helpful when contacted - and generally good value.

Will - that's frustrating news about C and D.

Do you have the option of harvesting hardened ends from old rods  to use with new tube?

I seem to remember Klaus, forum member, has written about pushrods made using VW Beetle tubular originals as starting points.

EDIT - scrub that! Klaus uses ally alloy pushrods made from VW Beetle parts.  And I see coater covered this already.
