Craig's answer was very close. There are small plastic dummy bolts that
fill the holes where the clutch cross shaft mounts to the body. The
assembly manual doesn't detail these, because they're part of the body
from Fisher. They may be detailed somewhere else. I think their are two
of them. They feel like they are made of polypropylene. When I removed
these I thought they were so cool!
