And what's the right hardness for lifters/tappets/cam followers? Is
70RC too hard, just right?
When I bought a set of Spitfire lifters recently from APT, they told me
that they're hardness testing each batch they get and that the batch out
of which I bought a set were at 70 or so (I can't recall specifically,
70..71...whatever it takes...)

I am looking for the best quality cam followers out there. (143552).
Whilst I am not made of money, price is secondary to quality.
Apparently, everone, and their brother is selling these things but
seldom is there any mention of technical specification, such as
hardness, heat treating, quality of original material...
This is what I found: (converted to US Dollars/No shipping/Tax)
Britishclassiccarspares.com (UK website): $48/set 12.
British Parts North West: $48.36/set 12
(Rockwell hardness tested at 54, minimum should be 50)
Canley Classics: $63.60/set 12 (standard)
Cambridge Motor Sport: $65.76/set 12 (standard)
TD Fitchetts (UK): $66/set 12
Moss (Europe): $66/set 12 (standard)
Goodparts (Richard Good, USA): $75/set 12 (standard)
Victoria British (USA): $83.40/set 12
Rimmers: $84/set 12
Chris Witor: $84/set 12, Good aftermarket.
The Roadster Factory: $95.40/set 12
Revington TR: $95.88/set 12 (tuftrided)
APT: $101.76/set 12 (standard)
APT: $125.76/set 12 (tuftrided)
Canley Classics: $142.80/set 12 (tuftrided)
Moss Europe: $150.00/set 12 (lightened & tuftrided)
Cambridge Motor Sport: $162.86/set 'Kent'.
My favorites at the moment are:
Chris Witor's
Goodparts'
BPNW's
Based on the general quailty of the service and parts that I have
received from them, coupled with their product knowlege.
I would be most interested in anyone's comments on the above, as well as
any experiences with various cam followers fitted?
Please email me directly on Guyots3@wmconnect.com
Many thanks
