+1 i get nearly everything from them now
i have been around on part hunts between o'reillys napa and auto zone and ended up going home and ordering them on rockauto anyway. just looked and it doesnt look like rockauto has the head bolts but they have everything else. check out ozgemini.com they have a part number listed somewhere for arp head bolts that fit

I could not find the correct head bolts in the US, and wound up putting my old, visibly-corroded ones back in :cry: so please do follow up on this so we have a good reference.

viewtopic.php?f=5&t=14751&p=110942&hilit=12mm+head+bolts+spec#p110942
^This thread has great detailed info, but some of the information conflicts.

According to my measurements of a Series 4 1975 , the bolts were

TYPE: SOCKET CAP
HEAD HEIGHT: 18mm
WIDTH: 12mm
PITCH: 1.5 THREADS/mm
SHANK LENGTH: 110mm
(GRIP LENGTH: 82mm)
(THREAD LENGTH: 28mm)

Well I feel like a dork.I bought a head set from someone on this site and it did have the intake exhaust gasket in with it.I had only previously saw a one piece intake exhaust gasket for the Luv and didn't know that they also came in multiple pieces! I owe Egg an public apology! Sorry Egg....I am an idiot! Please forgive me!

No apology needed. This is a great site, and we all learn from each other, me included. After all, we have to keep these things on the road as nobody else will if we don't.

Hi guys.....I'm late on this topic but here in Phx I went to Copperstate bolt and nut[there are several around] and bought a hex head head bolt for about 5 bucks. It fit perfectly and and has been in use for 3-plus years. My original allen wrench style stripped out inside the top of the bolt. I thought I was a goner but Copperstate had what I needed......Don
