Intersting to note the new bolts are no longer cadmium plated.
 
Endoman, I replaced the bolts last year. They look like zinc plated to me (from OPC).
 
Yes that's what I got. Previously they were cadmium plated as were the new hex bolts for the varioram manifold. Utlimately not a big functional difference but aesthetcally a disappointment. The modern world, pay more get less.

Cameltoe & heel. I was not strictly wrong and when I upload the photos you will see what I mean. The alloy cylinder that the Alan stud clamps down on had corroded and was botch repaired unsuccessfully. The result was that tightening the Alan stud could not put sufficient pressure on the cover and hence the gasket and therefore the gasket did not seal. The alloy tube had detached from the cover ( though not obviously). Therefore I got oil seeping out between the alloy tube and the cover even though the gasket goes right around the stud on the underside. Hopefully the photo will explain in less than 1000 words 🙂

yes now makes sense, good work with the new cover, looking good.
