[QUOTE="Big Sid, post: 40095, member: 2781"] It was said that the case hardening depth on original followers was only 30 to 35 thou deep . It is worthwhile to remove a bit of the tips length and nicely slope it's upper nose , look at the lobe track on it to observe the needed length and stay forward of that . I do polish lightly on the highly stressed underside forward of the pivot bore and over the upper surface . Eased its upper sharp edges too . The rockers also are lightened and polished , especially over the end portions , around the adjustor bore . Did this first on my fast street bike in the 50s , later on the drag bike . Never had one fail or create contact problems . Done also now on Lola and Tina . Sid . [/QUOTE]
