Never used them but they were a reputable firm from way back, not sure if they are still trading, they were mainly British stuff.

Almost 21 grams saved...not bad!

I actually use those adjusters on my Triumph Cub LSR bike.........they save weight at the critical end of the rotating mass.....and therefore save HP and wear inside the motor. Mine are not drilled through so they retain a full face on the end for valve contact. My new motor will have smaller diameter valve-stems so lash-caps will be used to keep the adjuster in line. I have thought of cutting down the nut to save more weight......but one thing at a time.
