If you initially used a much longer set of bolts for the middle attachment
point,
it could be used as the first set of "guide pins" to position the other 4
bolts
as the pan is drawn up via the single rod comprssion method. Once the other
4
correct bolts and nuts are in place through the pan, the two long bolts used
as guides should be able to be removed and replaced with correct length
bolts.
I'm doing this from memory having torn down and reassembled at least
4 such efforts.
Just a suggestion.
