Fitting the diff in a Zero

Can anyone offer any advice here. I've almost got the diff in my Zero but the bolts marked for this job were two very long 19mm and a pair of 19mm nuts and bolts. The diff has a through hole on the bottom so one of the longer bolts obviously fits through nicely. The two smaller bolts hold the diff on the chassis inside by the seatbelt mounts. SO...
I'm left with one of the long bolts but the two holes on the top of the diff are threaded each side with no through hole so surely I should be looking at two bolts to secure the top of the diff to the chassis...?????

On my zero , the long bolt goes all the way through. I cannot remember that being threaded.

sounds like someone has heli-coiled the top mounts..

makes it easier on some chassis as you cant get the long bolt in..

normally 2 x m12 bolts are used with the heli-coils.
