Power steering control valve

[Joseph T.]

I recently had a P/S control valve rebuilt. It was returned with 2 regular hex head bolts assembling the body when I know it originally had the 12 pt. bolts installed. Can I still get these 12 pt. bolts somewhere? Suggestions please.

If you want absolutely identical 12 point bolts, then I'd suggest you call the firm that rebuilt your valve and ask them to send you two. Certainly, they must have more than a few of these around. They likely replaced the bolts with new pieces as part of the rebuilding process. The new bolts commonly used are regular hex head.

If you would settle for 12 point bolts that are slightly different than the originals (but, of way higher quality and strength), purchase some ARP 12 point bolts. The size you need is 3/8-16 X 1".
