Default V7 STI shimless buckets.

I'm after v7 STI shimless buckets in the size 4.87 need 3 of them. Struggling at the moment you find them.

Assuming you need more valve clearance rather than less you can get them machined

Give Paul finch a call at GT Motors he may be able to help, or as above Alyn at AS Performance will machine them to size for you.

You will be very unlikely to find 4.87 buckets out of existing heads, either get the valve stem tip ground, or the inner tip of the bucket.

Yes, Alyn sorted all 16 of mine out on a set of rebuilt heads, top service as I was looking at buying a full set

I can cut the valves but I don’t have any buckets left. and you cannot really machine the buckets correctly have tried.
