That's perfect, thanks Norm. The parts catalogue is usually pretty reliable, but on this occasion.......
I typically use a HiShear depth gauge ruler. It has a hook and reads depth in 16th of an inch.
You measure the depth or thickness of each part and that will give you grip length of the bolt. Compare with the AN bolt listing then as you want the length of grip so you typically have a slight extra grip. You don't want threads in the bearing area in most cases.
In this they are all AN 5 bolts.
I have found that manuals are sometimes wrong and you also have repairs or modifications that have been accomplished that require something different. Its quite disappointing to have your hardware laying there and its late and your thinking "ahh- this is it. The final step" only to find your stuff isn't right.
Good luck
