Riva Bolts on Ada Head

[#ZERO]

I have this riva girdle kit and it just caused engine failure. Four of the studs broke at the weakest point displayed in the drawing by AUGUSTAF while riding. The cylinders seperated from the cases and filled with water and scoring my cylinders. Now riva is not offering a replacement. Does any one know where to get or who is making replacement studs that are quality, not looking for the ADA? The reason I do not want ADA is because you break the seal between the cylinders and the cases if you remove the head.
Any input would be appreciated.

That Riva hardware is getting hard to come by, contact user name tris63 he's making a new cylinder head with girdled hardware similar to Riva's.

the seal between the case and cylinder isnt broken unless you actually move the cylinder.

you could always throw a couple oem cylinder base bolts in place while youre working on it if it worries you.

ive never come across any reliable versions of rivas girdled head hardware.

even my riva head has ada hardware LOL
