just take one into a nut/bolt place and get 8 (or 10 ICR). But be careful putting em back in. Do not, i MEAN DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN EM. Finger tight, then half turn. If you overtighten em, u will break the tappet cover. Then u have to go to a wrecker and get a new one. Trust me on this I did it twice in 2 weeks.

You can also give it the De Tommaso look. I found this pic the other day of my old Feroza's engine bay. :D

Gopher,
Whats it for, Feroza or Rocky. If its for a 2.8 diesel Rocky, one of the 4 down the center of the cover, I should have a spare set in my parts car.

Gopher,
Im in Gladstone. I'll check tomorrow. My parts car has the head off it, and its inside. I know the rocker gear is in there too, so those nuts wont be far from them. Or I can pull one off my spare motor under the house.


Never mind, just went and had a dig round, and found one. Domed nut with built in flat washer.
PM me your address, and I'll post it Monday.

Cheers
David
