As title, where can I get single groove valve collets othe than Burton?
they are essex v6 so shouldnt be that hard to track down, paul ivy (rec) has had new ones made, BUT he told me they are metric and only suit his retainers
Was just reading something else on here about REC valves and that the ones from Burton dont fit - I have REC valves! I have sent the an email to see if I can get the bits from them.
no what i mean is REC single grove cotters can only be used with REC single grove Retainers, the valve doesnt come into it
I spoke to REC via email today, got to speak to them again tomorrow as I didn’t get chance to call him and place my order. One thing I had to confirm was the size of the groove. Will confirm with them tomorrow if you must use their retainers with the cotters.
Forgot to update this. Yes you need to use REC own retainers with their collets as the angles are different. 14 degrees on standard and 10degree on the REC ones. They also suggest using their own springs as they cannot guarantee that their retainer will fit other springs, they’ve sent me a set of drawings for their retainers so going to check they will fit my springs before ordering.
This is particularly for REC296 and REC297 which use rk8 cotters and either 10424 or 1451 retainers. Valve springs that match are rec004
Yeh they are the large pinto valves. 44.5 and 38.1 iirc
