<VV> Rampside Engine cover bolts

[Bryan Blackwell]

Hi Terry,

Since nobody posted an answer yet - the "clutch head" refers only to  
the head type and the driver you need.  Other than that they are  
normal bolts, they have kind of a recessed figure 8 instead of a hex  
or slot.  Our GB had kind of a mishmash of fasteners for the covers,  
so I replaced them with button head bolts that use an Allen wrench.   
Size for the rear is 5/16" coarse as I recall, the trans cover was  
3/8" coarse.  About an inch long is all you need.  If you really want  
to return to stock, I've heard the driver is still available from  
Snap-On (probably others too).
