Anyone have a picture?

That "J" nut slips on the verticle shielding. Do you see a hole with a tab on it?

The bolt goes through the horizontal shielding and then into that "J" nut.

As referenced in a different discussion, both of my vertical pieces are just hanging, with no issues. I don't show my 65 and have no intentions of farting around with any shielding other than those 2 pieces, and the distributor shield. As configured it looks "basically correct" to the average observer.
