This is one part of this task I hate. You know, I don't think they really go that far if they get away from you. One doesn't drop more than about an inch, while the other drops just a bit less than it's full length. Or am I remembering this wrong? I'm under the impression that if you forget these bolts when you put the cylinders in, then you can't install them correctly (head down) with the cylinder in place. I see quite a few installed head up, presumably because someone forgot to get them into place before installing the cylinders. I always get them into place early in the assembly process, and then tape them there so they stay out of my way. -- ******************************* Jim Adney, jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, Wisconsin, USA ******************************* ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~ Shameless link for search engines: http://listarchive.type3.org ~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
