Ok so I’ve looked more closely at these parts and I don’t feel comfortable with them. The combined thickness of the two belt tabs plus the chrome spacer is way less than the length of the shoulder on the bolt. The washer has a hole that allows the threaded part of the bolt to pass through but not the shoulder.
When the bolt is tightened, the washer bottoms on the sheet metal floor and jambs under the shoulder of the bolt leaving the two tabs and the spacer to float around freely along the shoulder section.
This means that while the bolt is tight, the tabs and spacer are loose, which really doesn’t seem right for such a safety-critical part.
What am I doing wrong?
