Need help ID'ing Bolts and nuts for Chain ramps
I am assembling an engine I bought in pieces, so I do not have all of the parts required to re-assemble.
I cannot find a complete reference to help me Identify the bolts, nuts and washers required to secure the inboard chain ramps. Are the chain ramps supposed to float on the bolts, or is there something that clips into the indentation on the ends of the bolts? Thanks in advance!

The chain ramps have 2 holes. One hole is just a plain hole. The other hole has plastic fingers that snap into the groove in the retaining pin/bolt. The little plastic fingers (or the "nubs" on them) tend to break off when removing the ramps so I don't reuse old ones and I check the "nubs" on the fingers of news ones if I've put them on and taken them off for some reason.

Awesome! I have a new set of ramps, and did not notice the difference in the two holes. Thanks for filling me in.

Post some pictures of what you have? Did you buy a PET cd from our host. It really helps.

Chris,
Thanks. Your description was perfect and was confirmed (I had no doubt) when I got home tonight. As requested, here are some pictures of the bolts and seals, the ramps and the case (one side. I hope to be assembling the case halves this weekend. I am waiting for the intermediate shaft bearings coming from Pelican. Than
