Thanks, I think I have them all the right way now. I did notice aftermarket bolts for the arms and the holes were different for the cotter keys and only my originals fit right.

Had to use a die set on the originals, but as usual the aftermarket bolts did not work for me. Same with frame mounts. Only originals are wide enough to hold right, not the V8 ones they sell as original for Model A which have heads that are are too small.
