Title: Manton / Chromo pushrods (a question as usual LOL) Post by: RFbuilt on December 09, 2009, 21:10:25 pm as i checked for pushrods (yes i know alu HD as light = good but cant afford the ac.net for now)
manton has pushrods (blank end) cut to length , in 2 diff wall tubing size a 0.058" and a 0.035" i was wondering, is there any major diff aside from the obvious , possible weight differences or do they weigh the same? how bout strength? to be used on a set of BP dual springs/chromo ret. and bugpack racing lifters there is a small price diff (not an issue) but i was curious since theres a diff in price, what is the diff in itself (the pushrods) curious because thats 1.47mm and the other is 0.889mm quite a big diff in thickness Thanks All!!

I use the .058" or the dual Tapered on all the big spring stuff. Cheers. Title: Re: Manton / Chromo pushrods (a question as usual LOL) Post by: RFbuilt on December 10, 2009, 22:09:19 pm and wow!! a head flow wizard replying hehe awesome K-roc
well as per Jims/the ones guidance i am using the bugpack duals,chromo rets and keepers looks like .058"s are for me then? or did you mean for "VW" style springs (non chevy) the 0.035's are fine?

Think that's what K-Roc meant too.

im hoping Kroc can clarify his input , from my understanding , for "vw" style springs including the 4046 BP springs, the 0.035s are fine , much like jesse/dvk's experience on them too, and for bigger springs aka chevy style , the 0.058s are needed? phew! good thing i asked bfor buying hehehe |
