Paul Amey Posted September 27 Report Share Posted September 27 (edited) When I stripped the rocker shaft there was a spacer/washer either side of each pedestal. Is this correct? This is for a Vitesse 2.0 litre mk1. Edited September 27 by Paul Amey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To me that sounds like only six spacers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Lewis Posted September 27 Report Share Posted September 27 its to protect wear on each pedestal face so has one either side dont get a mk2 rocker set that needs a lot of mods to make it fit Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Amey Posted September 27 Author Report Share Posted September 27 (edited) what is the purpose of the locating screw in the rear pedestal? Surely it won't move with the nuts tightened on to the locating studs? Mine still has some lateral movement with the screw tight.

Pete Lewis Posted September 28 Report Share Posted September 28 we got caught by one fits all crap , the mk1 pedestals are all about the same the mk2 have a pair of very differing the mk2 shaft is longer so wont fit the rocker cover the end caps need replacing with a setscrew and washer and so it goes on , swap all the pedestals over from the mk1 se up . once stuck with a cock up you have to swap and fettle to get back on the road she ran with this hotch pot for thousands of miles and presumably still is .
