Bell Housing Bolt Locations - Help!

Hi guys,

Im in the tailend of putting my engine together and back into the car. I got the bell housing bolts in a box of parts (though, i had to buy some new ones) and I'm hoping someone here can help me identify which bolt goes where?

This is an '87 NA 5 speed.




I know 1 and 2 are the starter bolts and they go into "E" and "D" in the photo below. But what about 3 thru 6?

#3 and #4 are the same size.

#6 is about 5mm shorter than #5

That did help.

I also went to Mazdatrix's site and they havethe locations of where the bolt goes on the individual listing where the bolts are sold so that was also very helpful.
