If anyone has a complete set,fasteners and all,I'd do a partial trade....$200.00 plus the rockers for my spare 140 mph speedo.Beautiful shape,ready to install.

You want $200.00 + a set of 1.6 roller rockers for a 140 mph speedometer? Or am I reading this wrong.

Yep,I'm wanting a set of 1.6 roller rockers,and $200.00. You all have seen the prices of the 140 speedos,I have one on Ebay (shown above) and it's cheaper than most sell for.If someone want to make the deal....great. If not,I'm not out anything except a "no deal".....which I'll live through. If the speedo sells on Ebay,then I'll use that money for a set of rockers.Every time I've had one of these speedos,I've sold them for $300-$350 each. If someone had some rockers they don't need,and want the speedo for cheaper than usual,here's the chance to make it happen.

I did some trading for them.After the 8 bent push rods,I sold them for a big profit and decided to stay with the 1.6's.Well,now that the springs are fixed,I could go either way.I could've kept the 1'7's,but,I did end up with a nice profit from them,and was able to get a few things I needed for the Sport.I'll find a set,I'm patient.

Luckily I got out for free.I had the rockers and rods from engine "A" to use on engine "B".I still owe the machine shop owner a big strawberry milkshake.I'll pay up on my next day off.

Rockers anyone?
