Are they stamped steel or CNC machined.

Anyone have a high res pic?

They are not stamped steel or billet. They are a cast body (steel?) and have bearings that they rotate on. Actually pretty nice looking for stock stuff.

nice looking and design, but they are weak. I've lost three.One of them totally stock and two aftermarket setups.

What would be a good upgrade over stock?

I plan on doing a cam change this coming winter and I want everything done right the first time with top quality parts.

Jesel, T&D, and Crane make good setups. The first two are more recommended I believe.

I think they're just stamped, weak pieces of crap! I've lost two in two months once I started going to bigger cams. Oh well, I hear Harland Sharp has an affordable quality upgrade! Just my .02
