12pt Flange Bolt - Stand 7/16-14x1-1/2

The 12pt flange bolt 7/16-14x1-1/2 from T AND D MACHINE is a precision fastener designed primarily for rocker arm stands. This bolt is essential for mechanics working on both street and race engines, where reliability under load is crucial. Its design helps ensure secure fastening in demanding applications.

The 12-point flange head design of this bolt distributes clamping force across a wider surface area than traditional 6-point bolts. This feature reduces the risk of surface deformation on aluminum rocker arm stands and other lightweight engine components during repeated assembly and disassembly cycles. The 7/16-14 thread specification indicates a 7/16-inch diameter shaft with 14 threads per inch, providing superior holding power while minimizing thread stripping risk.

Engine builders and restoration specialists will find this fastener particularly beneficial for rocker arm assembly, valve train work, and small-block modifications. Its integral flange neck design helps distribute stress evenly, reducing the potential for fatigue failure in vibration-prone environments. This makes it a valuable addition to any mechanic's toolkit.
