Studs for rocker cover on an alloy head
- Thread starter jefinabox
- Start date
They're 1/4" unc thread, should be able to pick some up cheap off eBay. I used allen key types on my Singer Vogue.
Something like this: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1-4-UNC-X...hash=item1e7348d534:m:mNXR8f9lDZFttlkFBj88fEg
but mine are black finish so will have been cheaper.
Or keep it simple and cheaper: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1-4-5-16-...hash=item25a698ef38:m:mdMDWmG6Z9BpKKuIaYkD0uQ

Have you got the steel rocker cover or the cast alloy type?
The steel ones only have a small flange so 1" long will be more than long enough. Hard to get really long ones for the alloy cover (4" I think?) so for my alloy cover I bought some 1/4" unc threaded rod and cut it to length then used four stainless 1/4" unc dome nuts. Haven't actually fitted it all yet but have tested the fit and it's all good.
Rod from here: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/271185657...49&var=570151139851&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT
2 x required, cut in half = 4.
Nuts from here: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/371116775...49&var=640429159617&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT
1 pack = 4 nuts.
4" rod screws into head to form studs, slip gasket over the studs, slip rocker cover over the studs, fit washers as desired and finish off with the nuts.
I'll be using spring washers and a drop of threadlock just to make sure they don't vibrate loose.
