Adding to that, the bolts are 'shoulder bolts' where they can only be screwed in up to the larger diameter shoulder. This is to stop the bolt threaded end being wound uptoo far thereby piecing the tank bottom.

So the shank length is such that the rubbers are squeezed the right amount above and below the tank bracket plate when the bolt is tightened hard up.

Incidentally -my prewar 16H bolts are identical to those on my slimline Dommie. So they should be available from usual suppliers.
