hi all
just fitted a new thermostat housing to by ongoing engine build
and the stud seem a bit short ie the nuts with washer go on ok but i would like to see a bit more thread out of the top of the nuts
what size /length are the standard ones and are longer ones available ?

Take your choice.

You can use three spare rocker pillar studs with either an additional spacer between housing and nut or cut a deeper thread on the stud.
