While we're on this subject, I'm trying to ID the bolt sizes for the missing (!)
bolts on my son's 86 CGT. Looking at the front, the 2 bolts that are 1 on each
side of the roller are missing. I 'think' they are M6X30 according to ETKA 12-00.
These bolts are also the ones that hold down the bottom of the inside TB shield.
I've explained to my son that this is the source of at least 80% of his oil
leakage - I think he understands now.
