Default Aftermarket rocker bolts

I broke a rocker bolt in my '01 SS last weekend. I'm looking for an aftermarket replacenemt but can't come up with a suitable one. I ordered some from Comp, but the big end is 3/8" and I don't want to bore my YT rockers to make the studs work. Edelbrock also makes an aftermarket bolt, but it is shorter than stock and is designed for ported/milled heads. This car has stock unmilled 241 casting heads, PRC dual springs,and YT 1.7's. I would really like to find an aftermarket replacement...rather than install new stock replacements. I don't want to wrap a ton of money up in this repair because I will be ripping it all apart in January for a LSX 454 install. I would like to get it running and would like to reuse the aftermarket bolts/studs on the new LSX build.

Edelbrock Has Them. #8597 Is The Part Number.

If I am not mistaken, are these made for them by ARP? I seem to recall reading that somewhere, although they are shorter than stock as I remember.

yes, they are made by arp, and shorter so they don't protrude into the intake runners like stock ones do.

It isnt rocket science its socket head cap screw m8 x1.25 x45 mm. I've got the same rockers. You either want a deal on a set of new bolts or you dont. 12.9 same as ARP.

Jeeesssuus that Edelbrock kit is expensive. $25-$40 depending on who you go to and it only has 8 bolts in it. PM me for a much better deal.. anyone
