Can anybody give me a correct part number for a bolt set to suit Ford Racing 4" tall chrome aluminuim rocker covers p/n M-6582-R351?? The nuisance part is the 2 long bolts that are needed. Arp sell sets of 5 4.5" bolts ARP-611-4500. Is this the right part? Most guys seem to run studs with small chrome nuts. Thes 2 holes really detract from what are otherwise a clean nice looking set of rocker covers.

I just used zinc plated bolts. What actually looks better is allen key headed bolts. A place in on Sinclair Rd, Dandenong, Vic makes them. I am sure they'd be available somewhere in NSW.

My only word of advice on these rocker cover is don't over tighten them. As you'll fracture the cover and snap about 1/3rd of the cover off. As silly as it sounds yes it will and can happen. They crack the covers around the long bolt area.
