That's strange, my ARP's came with two different length rocker studs. Only about 5 threads shorter.

new coil pack mount made. rad mounts adjusted with carriers for the wiring and sender pipes. just a little bit of wiring to sort and fit the rest of the exhaust.

Unfortunately that is not an option. But the spec is basically the same as last time. Need to give it a longer run a# it has had a heat cycle and retorque done. Then it is back onto the trailer till some time it can get set up. But first it needs to be transported back to the UK. Need to get the suspension set up before the rollers.
