Topic: One Shelby Hipo 289 valve cover bolt

[Bossbill]

I bought a set of reproduction valve cover bolts. On a lark I found a set (minus one) on ebay and just received them.
Now that I see the difference (and the length) I want one more original.

The original is on the left in this pic and as you see the letters are rotated from the repop (shiny).

Whatcha got?

FYI not a repop . Same company is still in business. Apparently slightly changed tooling.

They certainly changed a lot of things, including length!

The head is also not the same quality  -- the die stamping and how the edges roll over.

I could just hide the missing original in one of the rear holes, but that's not how I roll.
