On step 6, attaching the tie rod bracket to the R&P unit does the 2 bolts bottom out before tightening up on the lock washers. Seems to me if you have lock washers it needs to tight up on them before hitting bottom. Also the depth of the threads in the R&P unit seems the same but the 2 bolts are different in length. I personally think I recieved the wrong bolts. Any help would be appreciated.

I might get this rolling chasis together before X-mas yet.

For any that might run into the same problem:

Both bolts are suppose to be 70mm long. Steeroids shipping out correct length right away. Originals were 1 70mm and 1 80mm. Also I had a problem with the 70mm bolts not tightening up still. Ended up being a spacer that is in the boot that's suppose to be on top off the holes for the bolts. Mine came loose during shipping and slid to the side. Just had to slid it back over and push it down into place.
