No mate I don't see the need to replace the nuts unless there's a complete kit that comes with new ones. Just the caps.
Actually it could well have been Steve's car I saw the picture of with the allen nuts in place.
To clarify mate I'm talking about the ringed nuts below;
George, I did used to sell the kit to replace all the nasty rusty bolts on the rocker cover. The kit I put together replaces the whole lot apart from the rubber gaskets used in the Nissan arrangement. Replacing the bolts is the easy bit, getting them to stay in place is the tricky bit, they need to tighten down onto something. The standard ones are pillars/posts and dome nuts, made that way so tightening them down hard doesn't distort the rocker cover sealing gasket. My kit comes with all replacement bolts, washers, custom spacers and a new custom made hex standoff for the centre bolt.
Hyperbolt do sell similar bolts and washers but the quality of the anodising wasn't great.
I had someone else ask weather I could do the kits again recently so if your interested I could make up a few kits again. Blue, Purple, Polished Alloy, Black, Gold and Green were the colours. The complete kit would be £32. Iv'e probably got enough materials to make up about 6 kits.
I can't find the pictures of the kits on my system but I'm sure there must be someone with some pics of the kit fitted.
Let me know if your interested.
