Default D36 batwing: Any changes over the production run?

Outside of the bolt size on the camber bracket attachment points, were there any other physical/design differences in the D36 batwing over the years?

Thanks.

Yes, at some point the bolts changed from English to metric so the hole size changed slightly in the batwing. Seem to recall that using a late cover on an early pumpkin requires opening up the holes slightly.

What size are the two bolts for the batwing to chassis bolts supposed to be? In the roller car I got for parts the bolts are not the same and they seem to be too sloppy in the chassis and in the bushing. I know the rear in the roller I bought is from an 86 and the car was a 94. SO someone changed some stuff, could this be because of the year differences?
