Rocker cover bolts

[jazza415]

Hi all, I've lost one of the bolts for my plastic rocker covers.
Just wondering how people go about getting new ones? All I can find is people saying replace all of them when I change the gasket, not the size and thread pitch.
Also what are the plastic things that slide into the grommet things?

If you were in near me, I'd give you one. The bolts don't really wear out but the seals can.

Iv'e got the seals, I think they must have been talking about the actual rocker bolts wearing out, it's great to have a 2nd opinion though thanks man

Bolts can get stretched threads, but if someone stretched a RC bolt they must be done up very tight. The bolts even have a bit that stops them from being overtightened and squashing the seal.

My bolts are all good then, where on snug but didn't need to force them off.
Pretty sure they hadn't been touched since production tbh lol, it was a 1 owner car, even has an original holden exhaust, no holes, very surprising lol.
