    Did a little polishing with WD-40 and 4-aught steel wool. Not bad, they still have some blemishes but they are 40 years old. Looks like to mount these I need to replace the 10mm X 250mm bolt that supports the front of the engine. 10mm X 260mm should do it.

    Here they are after...

      Be very careful of the bolt that nearly touches the lower crankcase wall on the right hand side. It's not unknown for some clueless clot to punch a hole in the case and then have to patch it with JB Weld or similar.
      Not that I've ever done such a thing, nope.
      Never.
      Not me.

        Don't say can't, as anything is possible with time and effort, but, if you don't have time things get tougher and require more effort.
