    We used to have to "special order" a lot of longer ss allen bolts.
    Tried Fastenal? I only saw 4" on their site, but maybe a call???

    Jason, as redneck as it is, we just use galvanized threaded rod from the hardware store and cut a groove in the top of the rod to screw it in with a flat head screwdriver.

    I will say, that is pretty back yardish bro!!! Does threaded rod come in stainless? lol!!! I think I will stick with my hex head bolts for now.

    Ratickle, I think chrome bolts would work great. Put them on your credit card and ship'em over. I will need 16 of them. Thats only $352.00 for bolts and we're going to need washers. I wonder what the washer cost probably something like 6 bucks a piece?

    I cannot believe, as much as I've looked, that 6" allen is not available in stainless. But so far, I cannot find it......

    Thanks, I am very pleased how the plates came out. I got the 96lbs fuel injectors Friday and foound that they are completely different than what we used for mock up while building the plates. So we have to make some alterations to the plates and rails. Like coolerman says there's always a snag somewhere along the line.

    I am very pleased with the saxcoolers as well. Couldn't ask for better ones for the money. Hoping to make about a million horsepower on pump gas! lol!
