I am installing bottom rollers on my '79 450C as planned, I bought the new bolts for the rock guards from a local supply house, the roller bolts came with the rollers, I finished one side and had enough new bolts on hand to install the two guards on the left side. BUT.. I did not have the cross bolts yet or the spacer tubes.... I figured I could just push the new bolts through when they arrive...BUT, again like a dummy I forgot the tubes. Now to be honest, I am thinking of just putting the bolts in and forget the tubes..."I relay don't want to pull that outside guard off again" The guards are tight against the roller castings and can not move inward. How important is it to have the tubes over the bolts?? The old ones were pretty bent up, tubes and all. I just do not see the real need for tubes/spacers if I just snug up the new carriage bolts..... What do you think?? anyone else skip the spacer tubes?? its just pipe.
