If they are SPS good luck finding them! I needed their 7/16 nuts for some Crower billet rods. Crower had a close bolt in stock but no nuts. Had to turn down the shoulder on some ARPs. And no dimples for stretch on the bolts.
SPS has gone almost entirely aero fasteners

SPS rod bolts haven’t been a “thing” in automotive applications in twenty-five years(?). All of our rod bolts in Continentals and Lycomings were manufactured by SPS. If you know the total length and grip length of the bolt as well as the diameter and thread pitch there is probably an SPS aircraft rod bolts that would work, but WHY would you want to pay more for ONE bolt than an entire set of ARP rod bolts cost?
