Fronty Overhead rocker arms
This was my best Hershey Find last week, does anyone recognize who may have made these? My question is about the pushrods, specifically the ends that fit the “Ball Adjusters” that screw into the rocker arms. I didn’t get that part, but I’m assuming that it’s a readily available part? Any leads are appreciated, thanks, Bob

Looks to be 5/16 ball. Check out MANTON Pushrods. They have an extensive online catalog. They will make whatever you need.

Re: Fronty Overhead rocker arms
You may find that the rocker stands are not Frontenac, as all models of Frontenac heads used a single bolt to hold the rocker stands to the head.
B and BB Rajo heads utilized a two bolt rocker stand that may well fit the rocker stands you show above. Just something to be aware of. Redrilling the top of a Fronty head to use the two bolt rockers above might not work out too well, as the tops of Fronty heads are quite thin except around the original rocker stand bolt holes. Just a heads up. Looks like a nice set of rockers!!
