Rocker cover bolts sizes ? UNC/UNF what are they ?

[hiltonig]

Ok I should really get some thread gauges !!, what are thread/ length are the rocker cover bolts ? I would like to replace the standard funny head type to a stainless item.

1/4" UNC IIRC

Don't know the size but got tired of struggling with the silly head design and the heater pipes getting in the way of the socket so bought some of these a few days ago

The bolts are of bi-hex - that's 12-point - type. They are a special order item generally at Land Rover dealers.

Part numbers ERR7370 and ERR7371. Two numbers as the bolts are of two different lengths.

UNC.

I do have a cunning alternative after much research. Bolts are crap & fiddly to fix - particularly with rubber gaskets. I am having made something like a small 1/4" drive socket that will screw on a stud all you need to fit is a 1/4" extension bar. Not cheap, but no more aggravation
