cylinder studs

Looks like I've got a stretched stud on my rear cylinder. Keeps coming loose and rising. Doesn't feel like a stripped thread. It's the one nearest the exhaust port and the head's been off a few times so I think it's just given up. The heads are also powder coated so could well be running hotter than normal, whatever that is. Can anyone recommend after market stronger studs? I hear APE are good but where the helldya get them in the UK?

Cheers folks
Pete
