I've only discovered this great site a few weeks ago , But I've had Model A's since 1975.
I have a model B diamond block engine that I built for my 30 roadster project. I have used stainless valves and the B cam with model A adjustable lifters from Bratton's but I have not run the engine. I discovered Vince Falters excellent site on here and he mentions not to mix A+B cams and lifters because the diameter of the lifter base is much smaller with pictures of a trashed cam and a ruined lifter after only a few miles.

So my Question is does anyone make Model B adjustable lifters? if yes where can I buy them? or do I have to go back to the solid originals?
