Anyone using these valve cover hold downs from Spectre?

OK, here's the dealio.....
One of my passenger side valve cover bolt holes is stripped :(
I plan on installing a heli-coil, but also want to add studs to all of the holes so I can pull the covers for valve adjustments without ruining anymore threads :o
Now, the usual T-Bolts/Wing-Bolts won't fit because my motor is recessed into the firewall and has minimal clearance for the rear bolts :HMMM:

So I'm looking into skinny hold downs that have separate studs like the Spectre ones above :cool:
Anyone use these?
Are the caps steel or plastic?
The local speed shops don't carry them on the shelves, so I can't see for myself until I place an order :rolleyes:
