Hi is it possible to shorten 500 Bullet pushrods to fit a 350? ( Indian) I was hoping that the steel ends could be removed from the aluminium tube and re fitted to a shorter tube. easy job? bad idea? buy correct ones from Mr H? thanks in advance

The ends sweated on? Do you need to turn down the cut end?

thanks for the info, good to know. I should have been more specific in that the problem lies with my Model G engine and I have just realised my idea of cutting down a Bullet pushrod wont work. sorry for any inconvenience. I will start another thread. thanks

you could get the rocker arms stellite welded then ground down to suitable profile, seem as though your push rod is to short, have you compared it with the other one??d
