Section 38 of the manual says

    "5.Locate the phenolic nose fork spacers (see photo below) and the AN3-26A bolts, AN960-10 washers (one washer under head and another under nut) and AN365-1032A nylocks."

Even with the washer under the head removed, not enough threads protrude through to secure the nut. Should I get longer bolts or sand the phenolic spacers?
The nose wheel axle bolt shank is too short to pass though both forks, such that the threaded portion is passing through the second fork. Do I need a bolt with a longer shank, or is this acceptable?
By making the axle spacers the right length, I can make the wheel bearings ride on the shank.

Colin,

As I recall, I needed longer bolts for the nose fork assembly, and the stop bolt.  I think the spacer blocks are a little larger now then they were originally, which changed the required hardware.  I'm pretty sure I used the original axle bolt though.
