Trans mount bracket hardware
I cannot find two sources that agree on the arrangement of bolts, nuts, and washers that hold the transmisison mount bracket to the frame.The AIM is extremely unclear on this. It shows bolt 3416253 with washer 6255640 and nut 9422291 securing the drivers side of the the bracket and the shifter bracket to the frame. For the pass side there si only bolt 454905. No washer and no nut, which is clearly incomplete.
The horizontal bolt that is in shear should be a double-circle headmarked black bolt with washer and nut on the other end. This part I am OK on.
Both LIC and Paragon call out same length bolts for both sides of the bracket. The Paragon kit comes with two 3/8"-16 X 3/4" WB bolts and crimp nuts. No washers. The LIC kit comes with two flat washer, not sure on the headmark of their bolts.
This little stuff is driving me nuts! Help me JohnZ! Please!

I now believe the driver's side used a 7/8" bolt where the pass side has 3/4". Paragon supplies 2 7/8" WB bolts. I will probably use these along with a 3/8" SAE flat washer under the crimp nut.
