Commando Valve Cover Bolt Question

[FJRdoc]

I just got done painting my brothers '67 273 engine. I am going to be replacing the original valve covers with Commando cover that I restored. Were these originally fastened with standard valve cover bolts or did they come with chrome bolt?
Thanks in advance.

I've read both ways lol, our 67 273 when we bought it didn't have chrome, they were 1/4" with captive washers and I painted them black wrinkle to match the covers

The ones I had, had chrome fasteners with integral washers.

@65dartcharger - are they special bolts?

Chrome valve cover bolts. After 60 years become rusted. They where a typical chrysler fastener with a rim on top of the bolt top and built in washer about 7/16” od maybe 1/2” od but all chrome. The washer floats free of the bolt head. Mine don’t look chrome but they are. I found NOS ones at a swap meet years ago. Don’t ask the PN, I don’t remember. Mine is a 66’ Commando.

Yes, chrome plated SEMS screws w/intergral washers.
