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
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
So I'm looking into skinny hold downs that have separate studs like the Spectre ones above
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
I saw last night on fb about John. The world sure lost a great one. I'm going to miss his humor, advice, and perspective from another portion of the world. Rest in Peace Johnboy.
