SHCS Set Essential for Fenton Headers

We installed Fenton Headers in a 39 Ford Deluxe with engine in the car. I do not recommend doing so.
Without socket head cap screws it would be nearly impossible to install cast iron Fenton Headers. Even with socket heads we had to modify our 3/8 drive Allen drivers (5/16 & 3/8), cutting ball drive Allen wrenches to suit. The thread length is marginal (short), only about 1/2" engagement. The stock exhaust fasteners engaged much further. The socket opening in the head is very tight, adding to the challenge.
(Please ignore the red high temp RTV smeared around, it will get cleaned off.)
