The parts book lists the two 4323 carburetor mounting bolts as 1" in length. However, using the three insulators, 2 thin washers and the upper cable bracket, the 1" length is too short by about 3/8" to achieve adequate thread purchase into the aluminum DC Linkert body. Unfortunately, I cant find a 3/8'16 x 1-3/8" or 1-1/2" C.P. bolt in Harley's bolt listing for this purpose. I'm currently using a modified, Cad-plated stock bolt. This raises Three questions; 1. Has anyone experienced this problem? 2. If so, were you able to find an OEM bolt for this application? 3. Were these bolts Parkerized or Cad plated?
Thanks,
