Coventry Fastners perhaps? do you have them down there?
Bunnings have long threaded rod which may work if you can't find anything. dunno what sizes they have though.

dont be shy and use a hacksaw to make them shorter... you can use std gearbox bolts then....Quote:

Would there be clearance issues running on Type R cams?
yeah, mil the head and block...
problems include - timing belt is off, i think 1 degree advanced for every 1mm you take off?
but you should also enlarge the stock valve reliefs on the stock pistons...
other option is RS machine pistons, but that gets expensive quickly...
Care to explain why it will be more expensive quickly?Quote:
