Default 4wd Timing belt cover mounting pillar question

I want to put the cambelt cover back on my 4wd Saph but I’ve only got the two top mounting pillars that attach to the cam cover.

There are two other mounting points, one in the middle of the cover and one low down. Can anyone tell me what the missing pillars/mounting bolts are please?

Thanks in advance

iirc there is another one possibly two mounting pillars but they are shorter/smaller than the ones that sit on top of the rocker/cam cover, there may only be one pillar and a screw but I can’t remember tbh

Thanks Charlie.

I found this image which shows the post I need - the one between the cam pulleys:



I’ve found these for sale but not sure if the long pillar is the one I need. Can anyone confirm please?

Nice one dude glad you got it sorted, it’s been a while since I owned my saph, I got it wrong with the lengths lol the two pillars on the top are short and the front pillar is longer, iirc there is also a screw towards the bottom of the cover

yes bro the screw/bolt goes here

The pillars in your post for sale should do the trick

Hi
One of the water pump bolts is a special one with a slot in for the cover to slot into on the left hand side about
100mm up.

Cheers Tim

Thanks Tim but I actually gave up in the end as the pillars are not all the same and I couldn’t get the right ones to fit so I’ve ended up just leaving the camber cover off.
