Unfortunately, MikeR is no longer with us, he passed away last year.
Those cover bolts you see in my photos are from Rob at Needswings .....
The 'one time use' bolts are the small aluminum ones in the breather covers, if they are hex-headed, then they are most like not aluminum - hit them with a magnet.
