Interesting. It looks like different bolts were used in different years.

Up thru '70 they used a DIN 933 bolt M8 x12, with an M8 wave washer.

Starting in '71, they used a special bolt, which I'll bet has a locking hex 
washer head and is used without a separate washer. It is # 003 323 699, It 
might be worthwhile seeing if this is still a good part # at your dealer.

While looking this up, I also noticed that the drive plate is # 311 105 323C, 
which means that there were at least 4 different versions of the drive plate, 
all superceeded into this one. I wonder what they changed; I've never noticed 
any differences, but I really never had more than one to inspect at a time.
