bolt orientation 28 526 front brake linkage

Took a photo of the linkage before disassembly but question the authenticity of the arrangement of the attachment bolts. Are the lower two bolts of the fitting on the frame supposed to be two castleated bolts to the outside of the frame with cotter pins? Experience needed and a photo would be most helpful.

Also a photo of the front engine mount attach bolts from the inside of the frame would be appreciated.

That is the way they were built.

If you can't see the cotter pins then the condition can't be inspected. Those cotter pins are there for some safety reason.

I agree with Tim.

The front engine mounting bolt has the bolt head and washer on top and nut underneath on each side.

Mine is a 633 but I expect it is the same as your 526 in these areas.

I think Tim and David have already sufficiently answered your question, but here's a picture of the location in question on my 526 as further evidence.

Thanks for the photo. Confirms my assembly. One of the drilled bolts broke on disassembly and I cannot find a new drilled one. Guess I will have to drill one myself.
