They are a replacement for the valve adjusters in the rocker arms. Instead of a solid tip contacting the valve stem end they are a swiveling piece on a adjuster screw. You have to machine off some of the early 1.7 8mm rocker arm to make it work. This is a nice upgrade as the swivel's flat end then contacts the whole of the valve stem end without any mashing of the valve end. It's slightly quieter too. Combined with chromemoly pushrods and you have a better valve train that doesn't go out of adjustment as fast. Use only Porsche swivel feet ($$$$) as the knockoffs are crap.
