Rocker studs
I've searched and didn't come up with much. Will 7/16" rocker studs work with '081' castings? Is there enough "meat" in the stud boss?
Thanks.
Thanks.

you have to use a 7/16" coarse base thread in the casting.
No such thing as a 3/8" THREADED base stud. The stock one that gets pulled out is a press fit 3/8", so that happens to be a nice size to tap for 7/16" so....
the thread for the rocker nut, is where you have the choice, 3/8"NF or 7/16"NF. The 7/16" version obviously being larger and stronger, but you have to get rockers to match.
