Yes. They don't have a screw that is the correct size. Diameter and screw type
is not a problem but the longest one they have is 1.125" in length. A custom
order is required, hence the minimum 1000 piece order. They are the only
company I could find to do this, and that is only because they do make the same
style any way. Darren

GMCers,

I haven't really been follwing the engine cover bolt discussion too closely,
I know Darren is working on something and also Jim Bounds? Anyway, while
installing my Jeep soft top on Saturday, I noticed a fastener that looks
like a miniature version of our engine cover bolts, down to the little wire
loop.
It's manufactured by Southco,

I couldn't find this particular style fastener on their website, but they
have others that look like they'd work.

Has anybody talked to Southco about this?

Oh well. This would have been too easy. Thanks, Darren!
