If you will examine the two stock reinforcing crossbolts closely, you will observe that the nut on the rear bolt is fully seated and clearly staked. The nut on the front bolt is poorly seated and is not clearly staked, thereby indicating installation during overhaul. The seating and staking on original 2-bolts stocks are identical.
