Arrow Colony brand adjustable tappets

Heard these were the ones to buy. Who sells these?

I think that most model A parts vendors handle them . Colony adjustable lifters are the double lock type . double lock is more diffiocult to adjust but hold their setting .

I think the double lock lifters also have the smaller base diameter on the foot, .99 vs 1.110 for single lock.

I could be wrong, but I think Brattons and Snyders offer their own, rather than Colony.

Colony makes both styles, I have a set of each in original packaging. The single lock does have a larger base.

Berts sells Colony single lock lifters. I have used several sets from them and still have one set on the shelf.
