Do:

  1. Frame flat face up: drop the two M5×30 BHCS in from that face, into the 5.4 mm holes either side of the motor bore, 37 mm apart.
  2. Turn it over, holding the heads, so the threads stand up.

check Check

An A part: the cutout circled on p.73 and two heat-set inserts. Both bolts stand square, heads underneath and fully home in the plate.

What you're looking at

Manual p.73 and the pair render: a_drive_frame_upper, built upside down, flat insert face on the bench, so the two M5×30 stand up as the axles the bearing stacks thread onto. There is no pillar; the manual's post is the standing bolt.
