I was thinking same thing when I saw bottom pic. It apperars the rockers are built into the rocker cover. I've never seen anything like that before.

[Billy_smith]

Yeh thats wot i was thinkin, very odd. never seen that B4. Seen a piper twin cam head on a pinto but int got a clue bout that lol!

[Vista]

Can't say I've ever seen that before either but Piper have done some interesting things over the years, who's seen one of these before?

I have, in the flesh and omg I can't say any more!!!

I can't speak for the merits. The theory is, the end rockers aren't very well supported in the standard set up, so this cover increases the rigidity of the rocker gear with more support for the centre areas of the rocker shaft too. This should lead to less flex of the shaft and potentially more of the desired cam lift making it as far as the valves.

 

It looks like you've made a superb job of spivving it up

[you'll get 10s on that]

Yeah makes the whole top end more ridgid. Dave Edmunds had a billet assembly made by Barnby Engineering on his legendry X/Flow . Apparently worked as a great heat sink as well...so much so that you could hardly touch it after spirited use.

 

 

 

 

 

 

ps Thanks for the work you did for Martin mate

I think IKE engineering - the chap that does the Cheap steel cranks does some sort of billet aluminium rocker post set up featuring extra support - possibly also found on e-bay....
