Rocker cover screws

[Oldred_V8S]

Does anybody have a source for the Chimaera rocker cover screws?

I have trawled the web but a number of sites show them as being equal length, which of course they are not.

Many thanks.

Sorry to high jack the post but does anyone know how to remove the rocker bolts that are restricted by these pipes, and what the pipes are? I got the slimmest and longest socket I could but there's no chance it will fit in there!

A small amount of bending may be required they look very close

I use a 1/4 drive with a long extension and a bit of jiggling, if the pipes sit really tight a wobble bar may help but I've always managed without

FYI, they are the water pipes for cabin heating.

They are the heater pipes, many have subsequently re-routed under the valley to get them out of the way (example of serps reverting to older/better pre-serp design).

Replacing with cap head screws is a common update, 1/4"UNC thread, 4x1.25 & 4x1.5" long IIRC.

Are you referring to the black hoses connected to the fuel rail?These are the fuel hoses. You can unclip them but use a screw to block the end to prevent excess petrol leaking. Don't turn the ignition on or prime the pump with them disconnected otherwise you'll force out more petrol. A clean rag underneath will suffice to catch the drips.

The steel rails connected the 22mm hose between the bulkhead and engine are the heater rail/ hoses and are connected to the heater rail/ housing in the pax footwell.

From your description I think I'm refering to the steel heater rails. I will see if I can bend them out the way a bit, nowt like a bit of brute force to solve a situation. Thanks for the help!
