Default rear beam bushings again....

a mate went to fit the 2 big rear beam bushings yesterday in his escort coz (powerflex type) but found after instalation that the original bolts that pick up through the chassis legs appear to be half an inch short
is this normal or should there be 2 new longer bolts supplied with the bushings or whats the story
thanks

This is right m8, mine were the same, use a jack on the beam to squash it a bit, once you get the thread started it will go all the way
