Are there any tricks to getting the inlet rocker cover stud out? I tried my stud tool but it's too big and hits the rockers (I suppose I could wait until I pull the rockers).
I use stud extractor "sockets" such as the Koken set for stud removal. I would think they would fit between the rocker ends.

The exhaust bobbins are usually 5/16-24 not 26cei.I used two from the exhaust mounting. The nuts that attach the rubber bobbins.

Since many commando owners are rookies, they are initially unaware that the commando is a hybrid of hardware.
Commando are primarily unified hardware. Only the engine and transmission are left with a bit of original british hardware.
Two cei nuts from the gearbox could be borrowed for stud removal duty and not butcher the cei/bsf intake stud.
Any commando tech would have a pair of cei nuts for 1/4-5/16-3/8 in their toolbox.

5/16" x 26 Wilco, Parkrose Hardware, Ace should have them. George Kraus will certainly have them.
Dyno is right. Use the two of the seven nuts that hold the gearbox inner cover to the shell. Yes the outside nuts are 1/4 whtworth and you will need an open ended. Two wrenches. you will need to tighten them up fairly tight together and you don't want to bugger up the nut by rounding off the corners with an improper sized wrench. how many times have I seen that happen. The vicegrip and a hammer is nothing short of a hack job. IMHO.

That works great if you have an extra gearbox laying around.
