Golden Eagle stopped having these head studs made quite some time ago.
What I bought were not original Golden Eagle head studs. A few sellers on E-bay claimed to have them in stock but there is some possibility they are selling cheap imitations! Luckily, I was able to get a full refund from E-bay.
Golden Eagle does custom work on SR20 engines so I tried to talk Bob into making head studs for the SR20 but there was not enough interest at the time. If enough people call/e-mail they may start production.
I ended up buying the Mazworz head studs, almost twice the price and overkill for my engine, but that's OK since I ended up with overkill on my DET head rebuild anyway.

Still have those pics? Please post them up so we can all see what those looked like.
I bought mine from a private guy who had bought them for his build but then canned the project. He had to repackage them as well for intl. shipping. I later on ordered another set for my brother in law (from another supplier) that came in original packaging. The studs looked the same however.
