Having been both a flight engineer and a marine engineer, I would have
popped out to the shed and modified the bolt in a few minutes. It never
occurred to me that many people have never done this sort of thing.
Lee, I think it very likely that you have a friend or work colleague who
could shorten the bolt and configure it's end to it's pre-existing shape.
I think it unlikely that the long bolt would work in the mount's original configuration. I think it's range of travel is very limited, hence the need for three different positions.
