Alan: To avoid heartache and rejection I cruised over
to FLAPS and bought bunches of 8 x 1.25 mm
bolts/studs/washers/nuts and even a few 10 mm. just in
case.  Disremember the exact length, so measure or
eyeball it. Maybe even  a sharp new drill bit to go
with that helicoil kit you may need to replace those
nasty capscrews holding the header onto the cylider
head. Best of luck. Been there. George
