I was hoping it was just a straight bolt-in affair.  It won't take much, maybe an eighth inch overall.  Otherwise they are all set up with appropriate spacers for mounting the bolts, nicely machined and a snug fit.

He can't do much other than watch and listen, sometimes handing me a wrench if I help him through identification.  I -do- try and talk my way through what I'm doing as much as I can to try and engage him so he learns.  Even if he doesn't absorb it all now, his brain -is- catching some things, so it's valuable.
