I did the changeover 15 years ago... I recall doing some changing of the washers perhaps but basically everything from the 72 went into the 71 without a problem... you DO want to use the correct bolts for that year belt. Jim can probably help... he'll remember these little changes... Spike?? Perhaps I just mashed it into the carpet but I dont remember one.
