Just noticed that at least two mounting bolts for this black plastic rail along the left side of my engine are missing.

Searched the parts manual but I can't find them. Anybody got a PN or other advice?

don't you just love it when somebody works on shit and doesn't put it back together !!! ya know some people shouldn't even own a screwdriver . my brother just bought a rubi and went to change the clutch and throw out bearing, well the PO had just decided to leave the upper 2 bolts out of the bellhousing :eek: WTF ! It's only 2 of the 4 bolts holding it to the engine, guess it was just too hard to do it correctly !!! 🤬🤬🤬

Yep. I blame this one on the PO.

However this weekend a friend was over when I was trying to replace the driver side door glass. Good guy, and mechanically inclined, but he drove me crazy not placing removed hardware in any logical order or consistent location. Tools, too. I'm kinda surprised we got everything back together...
