Abstract
A roller finger follower. includes an elongate body having first and second opposing sides each having respective inside surfaces. First and second grooves are defined by the respective inside surfaces. A slider bracket includes a top plate having a top surface that is substantially perpendicular to the first and second sides. First and second projections are affixed to or integral with the top plate, and protrude therefrom in a generally parallel manner relative to the top surface. The first projection is slidably disposed within the first groove and the second projection is slidably disposed within the second groove. A locking pin assembly is carried by the slider bracket, and selectively couples and decouples the slider bracket to and from the body.
