VCCA Home Forums TECHNICAL - 1945 AND EARLIER 1929-1932 More on '32 rocker arm support.

In another thread I reported on the overall height of a couple of sets of rocker arm supports that I have. The ones that I need are '32-specific part number (and casting number) 836813. Does anyone here have exact measurements of total height of 836813 and exact measurements from the base to the centerline of the rocker shaft?

If I can't find any of these supports, I figure I can either mill material off the base of some that I have, or add shims to get to the proper base-to-centerline number.

I guess the most important number in all of this is the correct base-to-centerline measurement.

Of course,if anyone has some correct '32 supports and correct rocker arms that they would sell, I'd be interested in them also.

Thanks. Tom

Tom, Mine is an original 32…When I return, I will try and get a measurement for you.

I measured ones that came off a spare 32 engine and the stand measures 2.335 . I could not read the casting number but from your previous post they most likely are the same as the ones you have measuring 2.34. They are loose so getting a shaft center is a guess at best but appears to be 1.75. When I hear back from the local member that has more of my stands and arms I will let you know what may be available if you are still looking .
