Are you talking about the bolts with the end mount spacers? They hold the end stands for the rocker shaft? I had to remake one of mine that was welded on crooked from Dove. I used a grade 8 bolt just like what was used from the factory made a new spacer and welded it up. Put it in and no problem so far. It helps to have a machine shop for truing up and jigging them to be welded.

Call Dove and see if they have any

Dean, check the buyer beware board on this forum about buying things for Dove these days.

Dean, is this what you're after?  They're from a Dove setup I ran many years ago.  If so, I'll send you an email.  Randy M

Randy,
can you get the dimentions of that stud, I think that will work, need 5/16 on the skinny end...also length of 1/2 " part
Than you, Dean

  Dean, the upper part is 3/8" fine thread.  The lower length is equivalent to a conventional long head stud.  As I recall a couple of hardened washers/shims were used on top of the stud nut to bring the end support mount surface up to the level necessary for end support alignment with the rocker shaft.
  If these (four) will work for you I'd be happy to trade you for four conventional upper (long) studs if you've got four spares.  If you don't have any to trade you can have these anyway, as you did me a solid last year on that Big F medium riser head.  Let me know - I still have your mailing address.

Randy, looks like they will work for me, I do not have any studs for exchange, send them when you can, i will send a check back.
Thank you so much,
Dean
