[T3] trivial pursuit: the type 3 addition

[Dave Hall]

Brian, I'm not sure why you said the bolts are 30mm long when they're not!
Is that the trivial bit?   Anyway, we now know they're 15mm and 18mm
depending on earlier or later than mid-'65, and the upper one (sway bar) is
20mm.

I actually had the answer.  John J had a bar to measure, I was just curiouis
if anyone else knew... Kind of a tribute to Russ ;)
