    I bought some valve covers years ago from another board member. I never installed them. I checked TA sight and didn't see any specific that they sell.

    I was just tempted to go to the hardware store and buy stainless bolts.

    Anybody have any specific sets they buy for them? Thanks.

    From Page 35 of the current TA Catalog,

    You can download a pdf copy of the catalog at the TA site. The website is not as up to date as the catalog. Much easier to just go through the catalog when looking for parts.

    Our valve covers come with black oxide allen head cap screw bolts. You can get them from the hardware store if they sell that stuff or we can sell you a new set. It isn't listed in the catalog.

    I swapped the black oxide ones for allenhead Stainless ones I bought at Fastenal..I think black would be your better choice with the black covers though..
