To hold down the valve covers, I'm was
going to make something but couldn't figure out what so I bought some
from Billet Specialties instead. These have studs that screw into the
head first and then you install the solid aluminum nuts.

Here you can see the stud which is
really a long set-screw. It has socket on top for a hex-key to fit in so
you can tighten it down.

After putting the gaskets on valve
covers, this is
what it looks like with the new hold downs in place. They have a
7/16" hex head
on the top so you can use a socket or wrench to tighten them. I may have
to send these to the plating shop with some other parts later on because
I don't like to much shinny-on-shinny stuff. I like the contrast that
different colors make and these might look better anodized. I guess
we'll see later on when I paint the car.
