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!!

Hi the .035" Wall are good for standard VW dual springs no problem ( yes they are lighter than the .058" )

I use the .058" or the dual Tapered on all the big spring stuff.

Cheers.

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?

I use the thin wall mantons with bugpacks 4046 dual springs with no problems. Think that's what K-Roc meant too.

see i had a feeling 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
