[s-cars] 993TT BBK snag hit - part number help?

[Eric Phillips]

I would indeed like them.  I will be glad to pay for them, plus the
postage, plus any kind of hassle charge you want to throw in.

www.vagparts.com doesn't sell them.  I just looked.

I do not see why the regular head wouldn't work, unless there isn't
room to get a wrench socket onto the bolt.  You've tried these guys
out, and there's no clearance issues?

Thanks!
