Header Bolt Question
I noticed some of the header bolts have loosened and fallen out. These bolts use spacers and have small hex heads (10 mm wrench) to fit beside tubes. Can anyone recommend where I can fine some replacement bolts? I don't think I need the spacers but def the small heads will be needed. Thanks.

They did back out as I found two that were about to fall out and threaded back in. I have used the stage 8 bolts in the past on my 72 and while the concept is great, it is difficult enough just getting a wrench on some of the bolts, the little C-clip is is a real trick. If i had that kind of access, i would just periodically tighten them.
