    LTB HO Valve Cover Bolts with Stems

    I’m looking for these things:


    They hold the spark plug wire holders in place. The ones I have are for the stamped steel covers so the threads are too short. Would anyone have a set of these around?

    I just took a set out of some stamped steel covers and they have exactly 1/2" of thread from the washer face. Are yours shorter than that? Pretty sure the land on the HO covers is 1/4" thick + gasket, you may get 2 threads in there...

      Yeah, they're shorter. I'll check again, but I used longer bolts that were provided with the covers since the originals wouldn't reach.

      Here's an image of factory HO bolts:


      One guy on eBay has that set but wants $35 and shipping for the set. Sounds a little exorbitant, but what do I know, it's Mustang stuff.

      I wonder if something similar could be made up as a conventional stud. I just need to find maybe some all thread and try that. I'd just wonder if that would allow the holders to fit.

        The ones without steams are the same as oil pan bolts.

          EDIT: Nvm, currently speaking with someone about the bolts.
