I'll post some pics later. 7553007-68788_part.jpg (181 downloads) HEMI-ITIS has no cure. My condition is fully BLOWN!!

I think I would run the covers I have now and use the new ones later when the vacume pump went on But I'm lazy also Last edited by Cab_Burge; 01/19/13 05:45 PM.

I do not like the look with the bolt tubes sticking out so the next set I may cut them flush with the cover home of the Sox and Martin Hemi Duster

Fred,we sunk the allen head further into the tube,just not as far as you did. Last edited by hemi-itis; 01/20/13 08:47 PM. HEMI-ITIS has no cure. My condition is fully BLOWN!!
