If you can find them second hand you can use the A plus studs and flanged nuts. These studs are marked with a "Y" symbol on the pointed top. The standard studs are torqued to 42 ft lbs. The high tensile ones can be torqued a bit higher if you need to.

Standard studs available here:https://www.morrisminorspares.com/engin ... s-p1238182 as a set or singly.

Or there are stud sets made by ARP but they are VERY expensive.
