129297741_10158728420561212_8793173191903889191_n.jpgSo I purchased an alloy aluminum rocker cover, Theres only one problem the original rocker pedestal studs are not long enough to go through the top, looks like the originals are 3 3/4" , I found these 4 1/2"on Moss Motors site that im sure will work, but theres NONE in stock

BTW: THis is for my 1960 TR3A with a TR4 engine in it

The last two alloy covers i bought (TR6 and GT6) came with nuts that reached down into the cover. Im a little surprised yours didnt come with them.
