Default Chrome HD lifter covers

Hope to get a little help here. I have the HD chrome lifter covers, the 3-piece assembly that covers the lifter bosses, and the middle section is loose and rattling. Threw the instructions away long ago, and i was wondering if anyone knew how that piece is held on? I seem to recall there was a bolt that you got to by sticking a long extension from the other side between the cylinders. I've looked in there and I can't see a bolt, or the head of one, and I can't tell if I'm looking at threads where the bolt maybe fell out.

Anyone have any idea?

Thanks in advance.

The kit did come with a very long, and VERY small allen key. you tightened it from the opposite side of the bike. Thats the best i can do, can't recall the size of the tool, just that i kept mine just in case the same thing happened to me.

Dawg must have broad shoulders, we all lean on him when we need part numbers, parts break downs, or even installation instructions.
