<br /></div>
<div>
Purchased some new high quality pushrods from Stateside Tuning:<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.statesidetuning.co.uk/newproducts.html">http://www.statesidetuning.co.uk/newproducts.html</a><br />
<br />
Finally found some time to cut the pushrods to length, and install the ends.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Pushrods accurately cut to length on the lathe and then using a curved mill chamfered the internal edge to allow fitment of the ends and allow proper seating. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Instead of "hammering" the ends in using the common method of an old lifer on each end, utilised the lathe again to "push" them home. (probably the most boring video on youtube, but someone might find it of interest!)</div>
