Received new head bolts from Eeuroparts today...

P/N 5955794. They are the old (pre 1997) style - no washer, top 1/3 is solid shoulder w/o any threads there. Color is black. SaabSite depicts the same bolt, but do not know if picture is representative of what they have in stock. Curiously, local dealer still had the old bolts, but only 6 in stock so I had to order them from Eeuroparts, they had no new style bolts.
Just wanted to let you all know the older bolts are still availiable, for those either replacing head gaskets or excessively strecthed new style head bolts.
If I can ever get my hands on a brand new, new style unstrethed bolt, I will take it and one or two of my old streched bolts and tensile test them in the Instron at work and compare results. It will be interesting if they are measureably weakened and the amount of strech they have upon removal and how much more elongation before failure.
