C1 motor mount bolts con't.......
Every time I take something apart for the first time on my 62, even after 30+ years I run into Bubba. This time it's 2 different size and thread bolts on each motor mount! 
Which one is the right one, the coarse thread one is 4in. and the fine thread one is 3 1/2in. and it's bent. Numerous washers on the other one, and squashed rubbers both sides from too much torque...

I think the shorter, 3 1/2" one is correct. The sleeve should stop at the thread, and there shouldn't be any shank showing. An old Paragon hardware chart I have says it's a 7/16"-20 thread.

....by what? 
No 3 1/2 x7/16ths (20F) in the city. Came home rooted around in my old stash and found ONE, just ONE. Straightened the other out with a baby sledge and I'll finish it up tomorrow. Don't throw out old bolts and nuts...ever!
