I received a private message regarding Comp Cams, Tim Cole, and the big block Chevy rocker arms for Stock Eliminator. Tim actually had the 1/2" stud big block Chevy rocker arms made because I told him we were going to modify the Comp Cams rockers, and have studs and poly locks made for them. He told me to wait, and he was able to push through the changes for us.

First, Time Cole retired from Comp Cams around 2018. Chris Padgitt left Comp Cams, went to Crane Cams, and then to Bullet. The person who "replaced" Tim Cole at Comp Cams is Dave McCarver.

Second, the stud and poly locks for the Comp Cams stainless pro series big block Chevy rocker arms for Stock were made by ARP. I am not sure if ARP will sell them separately.

Third, three years or so ago (sorry, cancer treatment killed some of my memory) I asked my friend at Comp Cams, Bily Godbold, to inquire about having ARP make a new stud for those rocker arms at was at least 0.187" longer on both ends. He agreed the change was necessary. Unfortunately, I do not think the change was ever made.
