REFLECTOR: Fixed vs RG

The original (mine was a 1992 kit) had only 3/8" bolts.  After mine bent, I rebuilt the attach points and reamed out the saddle to accept 7/16".

Doug,  I believe that the original size for of the gear bolts was 7/16 possibly 3/8 or something like that and they were increased to 1/2 inch..  I could be wrong.

ScottI think you're right; and I think the change was made in 1996, just prior to my kit.  I recall some issue, like I had received ½" bolts and 7/16 sleeves - or some such - and had to get it straightened out. Al
