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.
