This was a production change, although I'm not certain just when it occurred
for the TR6. For the Stag it apparently occurred late in 1971.

I believe with the bolts, you just tighten them all the way in. Or, follow
the book instructions for making the adjustment; and if the lever moves when
you tighten the bold, add washers under the head until it doesn't. This is
not a particularly critical adjustment.
BTW the tip of either the bolts or pins should not be tapered, but turned
down and cylindrical. This is the pivot point for the shift lever, so if
yours are worn, I'd suggest replacing them.
