I need the contact info for "Stewart" who sold the kips over rotation bolts. His profile seems locked or inactive - I can't PM him. Thank you!

Without getting into too much detail all I can tell you is that Stewart is "no more" and you're better off looking elsewhere........I got my bolt from another member but I'm not sure if they still available.

I got mine from Kawrider but he too seems to be "No more" ... Not that i need another one but hopefully someone makes them for others out there, or can start making them.

You can make one yourself very easily if you have access to the right tools.Here's an old thread on what you need.

...or if you don't have access,a little ingenuity works just fine...I made one from my existing Kips bolt,by drilling a shallow hole in the center of the part of the bolt that butts up to the govener rod...then pressed in a 1/4-20 bolt and sealed it with Yamabond...and then ground it down on the bench grinder a little at a time until the valves just closed.

I actually ended up going to NAPA last night, and with the help of an awesome gal I found a car oil drain bolt that fit PERFECTLY. I didn't have to shim it, trim it or anything. It measured 0.42" long from the base of the head, which I thought was too short, but it made the drum valves line up perfectly with the edge of the main exhaust port. Anyone else needing one should check into Auto oil drain bolts. I'll try to get the part number next time I'm in NAPA.
