2" flat-head screws.
Step 23. Position the engine in the chassis (19) and line up the holes

in the engine mounts (164) with the slots in the chassis (19).
Step 24. Thread the 5-40 x 1/2" flat-head screw (173), with the washers

(172) in place, all the way into each of the four holes in the engine

mounts (164). Be sure all the countersunk washers (172) fit down

inside the slots in the chassis (19). Do not fully tighten the screws

yet.
Tip: It's a good idea to use a thread-lock compound on the threads

of the screws in the engine mounts.
