RA IV rocker arm nuts and oil deflectors
I am helping a friend rebuild a 70 RA IV. We don't have the correct oil deflectors and nuts for the rocker studs. From my research, I understand the setup utilizes three nuts and a deflector on each stud. Does anyone have a photo of this configuration you would share? Anyone know where we can get the parts?

Perfect picture, thanks!. We have the suds, guide plates and the long nuts. Anyone know where we can pick up the defectors and the other two nuts?

I had to make the deflectors !
I used guide plates and the hardest part is to change there hard temper they have buy heating them up to red hot and then cooling them real slow. Yup, the guide plates where not 100% shaped like the originals but they filled the need! This will allow your to cut them and bend them as needed, or you can just fully make them by scratch. I had a whole ton of those stamped steel top nuts from doing electronic repair , but don't any more, perhaps a look thru a Mcmaster Carr catalog will turn them up for you.
