7/16 Pro-Mags and stock valve covers?I

I searched for over an hour and could not find an answer. Could someone please tell me if the 7/16 Pro Mags will fit under the stock valve covers with a little trimming. If not, do you know where I might find a set that looks half way decent and isn't to pricey. I realize the alt. will need a little grinding to clear anything thats taller than stock. Thanks for any help.

They fit.. And you don't have to trim the center bolt supports.... That's only askiing for a leak. Just flatten them w/ a pair of vice grips and twist them so they run parrallel w/ the supports holes. They'll slide right between the RR's when you do this.

What would you get, SA or non SA rockers. I think the 7/16 are only available in the non SA.

Non S/A.. They give you "room to grow" in the future.... Until a person would switch to shaft mount at least

Red96Lt1, If your asking me, I went with the 7/16's NSA RR's because that's what Bret Bauer recommended. Didn't even know you couldn't get them as a SA rocker.
Shawn, thanks for the quick reply, and I know if your wrong you'll chip in for a set of valve covers, right?

LOL.. I'm not wrong .. I've done this to a bunch of sets... Just make sure that you line up the valve cover bolt hole.
