Eccentric Shaft bolt wrong size

I bought a better Eccentric Shaft than the one I had to use in this rebuild. I've got the short block all button up now but the 3 e-shaft bolts that I have do not fit into the e-shaft. The e-shaft bolts that I have are all too big to fit.
So that I can find the correct size bolt, what year e-shaft was I sold. I was told it was from a 1990 T2 but evidently not.

its probably an early 13B E shaft, those have no thermal pellet, and a smaller front pulley bolt. happily, you can just get the bolt from any pre 1986 rotary, and it'll work perfectly fine

Thanks for the help. The e-shaft was in really super condition but the guy that sold it to us should have included the front pulley bolt.
Just another rip off trying to sell something they had no use for.

the old one is a little "better" as they don't have the thermal pellet.

yep, aside from that there really is no performance benefit or superiority between any of the shafts up to the 13B-MSP. and even the MSP is only arguably better due to saving a few ounces of rotating weight.

Well, at least I wasn't sold a total piece of junk but it would have been nice if the seller had included the hub bolt. Although, I did find one on eBay for $10. I just have to wait a week for it to arrive.
