Default No Source But Thought About How To Make

Hi Pieter

I don't have a source for them but have given it some thought if I ever needed to replace any of them. Well I've through of two ideas and lets hear from the collective knowledge of MLU as to what would be best.

1. Get a cylinder head stud of the correct size but a little long. Put the stud in with a nut and torque the head to spec. Then put on washer or spacer to bring the filter mount to the correct height clear the obstacles washer filter mount washer and nut.

2. Fabricate a new bolt by welding another bolt head to head to the top of a regular head bolt. My first concern with this approach was taking the temper out of the head bolt. So thought of sticking the head bolt in water right up to the head and then arch welding the bolt for the filter on head to head.

What are peoples thoughts?

Cheers Phil

PS Remember that there are two different head bolt lengths used on the Chevy head.
