1929 to 1932 Motor Camshaft Rocker Levers - the improved type

From the model 236 including model 845 the stamping type of camshaft rocker lever (part.no. 158723)was used. At the end of the 8-series they changed to a forging type of camshaft lever (part.no. 194738 and 194739 (left & right)). I have heard that the earlier type was a weak point on the engine, and therefore they turned to an improved forging type. The old type could be changed to the improved type on all these engines. One of mine 1929 engines do also have some repaired camshaft rocker levers. They were repaired through brazing solder, with mixed result. Therefore I have to do something.

Do anyone know somebody who is manufacturing the forging type or who are rebuilding the stamping type?
