Hi Ari,


Actually it is these plates I was wondering about:






The normal round ones would act as bushings/bearings, I think, but I dont understand why some of them are oblong with that extra bolt in them.

It all comes to that where they like the movement to happen. If the cylinder mounting pin is fixed to the boom, there's a bushing in cylinder where the rotation happens. With those freely floating pins, I guess there's bushings in all of the joints.
