I'll check the microfilm and see what it says. Is it possible that that 60mm 
bolt is an incorrect replacement, or that a late bolt would work? I'd be really 
surprised if VW used a bolt that was 20mm longer than it had to be. That 
would be a waste of money and an oversight (I'm being charitable) in 
engineering.
