you will have either two types
the orginal one which has a long pointed bolt with a sqaure head this is the orginal one and it is wired like we used to use on the helicopters so that nothing came off..when it was in use from vibration
the later type is the grub screw type and there are some other differences in the casting and this just needs to be loctited in.
I had the old type broke it when I replaced the bushes and then I got a new type and I am old school and I do like the idea it's wired in but it works
hope you got it back ok..
