I too still have my Jim roller rockers installed. I have a couple of
valve stem rollers showing some flat spots, but the overall kit is
working. I'm going to have to scare up a machinist to make some
replacement rollers, but I do enjoy the kit.
Alas, since the kit never really made it to market, if something goes
wrong I will have to buy Richard Good's rollers and replace the whole
assembly. Pricey, but it certainly looks well made.
Cheers,
Mark

Ah yes the infamous Mr. XXX, who once said something to the effect of
"you have the mechanical aptitude of a smurf, but don't be offended..."
Yeah right! I did hear from him after he stopped posting to the list.
He either monitors it or has a friend who does. Hello Jim.
Despite all of this (which definitely includes a personality disorder) ,
and the taking of money and failing to deliver a product is no small
matter, I initially welcomed the initiative of someone who was willing
to make what appeared to be some unique and interesting parts for TR's
I was one of the folks who recieved a free set of roller rockers for my
TR. I know that there have been instances of failure, but so far I have
not had any issues and have been pleased with mine. I'm keeping a
watchful eye on my roller rockers, and despite having more than a
smattering of issues over the past year or so, I have kept a close
smurfish eye on things and have conquered them. Fingers crossed.
Al has offered much advise, but the addition of curb feelers and 22"
rims with glow in the dark neon parts are not part of my plan to add hp.
I hope to see some of you, yes, even you Al, at The Roadster Factory in
a couple of weeks. And no, I will not have my car as my Triumphant
minivan will be dropping me off, and Joe Earnest is busy replacing parts
on his Dolomite so that I will hopefully have a ride back to Atlanta.
Vroom, vroom,
Ashford
