Nuts and Bolters,
The 3 studs must be on the TR6 engine as both of my GT6 engines, which
are correct, use a bolt on the front. That is good logic on the clearance
issue. I have never really thought of it. The things list brings up is
amazing. don't any of you out there work???

I don't think there should be a bolt in the front hole. It is studs and
nuts all around on mine.
