    Got the 235 mounted. Made the most educated guess on the rear motor mount bolts. Thanks for the suggestions. I'll post more as it comes along.

    So Michael,
    What length bolt did you end up with? BTW, nice job so far.

    Woody-We used a grade 8 4 1/2 inch 7/16 5/8 hex head. I wonder if I could have gotten away with a 4 inch. Had to work to get them through the new rear mounts. I'm having to do some improvising. Have you got a good source for torque specs? I've got the assembly manual, service manual. Can't locate the specs.
