Also - I can't find new spacers anywhere....I assume they are necessary....what have others done to replace?

Next to last.
I'd use a large washer for the head of the bolt to ride on(if it fits) instead of the split one 'second'.
Body shim/spacers are @ the FLAPS.
In the end expect to put it together and take it apart several times at least before 'things line up'.
I found some things reveal themselves after the 3rd or 4th time of fitting them all together and blowing them back apart looking for an extra 1/32 clearance.
Give me ambiguity
or give me something else
