So what exactly have you done here, machined for screw in studs etc, or fitted bolt on adjustables?
You could measure the shaft on the studs to find out if you need 3/8 or 7/16. |

Im soon to remove the heads and machine to suit rr and new springs.
Im not real sure what I need (never done rr b4). Thats the reason for the question, triing to source all the parts before I rip the heads off :? I guess I should had asked what size bolt is used in the stock rockers so I can get the correct sized studs and then the correct posi locks to suit the studs mick |

Are you buying new rollers?
If so the posi locks come with them. |

Well, do you have bolt on rollers, or adjustable?
Are the roller rockers on the car? If not, measure the shaft size on the roller trunion. The posi lock size depends on the roller rocker used. Stock heads on Windsors DO NOT have screw in studs, guide plates, hardened pushrods. They are a bolt on, non adjustable type. |

To give you a rough indication (Without being exact to the . of a mm), 3/8 is around 9.5 mm, 7/16 is around 11 mm.
If the posi locks were too big then you obviously need 3/8. |

Maybe i got it wrong but i've just measured them and it's 11mm so that makes them 7/16??,anyway you should have them in you hands early next week and you can take them to a workshop or so and get advice on the correct size,as far as i know these r adjustable.
