Bolt (2 1/4 in. UH)
A 1/4 UNF x 2 1/4 in. UH bolt used in the timing cover and kickstart/footchange assemblies on the timing side of the engine.
This is a 2 1/4 inch bolt with a UH head, part number 14-0208, and it shows up across a long run of catalog years from 1969 through 1978. The figure titles it appears under tell the story of where it lives: timing cover, gear cluster and timing covers, kickstart and footchange assemblies, and the crankcase/timing gears/oil filter area. That's the front of the engine, on the timing side, and this bolt is one of the fasteners holding those covers and internals together.

The thread is 1/4 UNF x 28 TPI, which puts it in the same family as the bolt used to secure the auto-advance unit on the timing side of a lot of these motors. If you're replacing this one, it's worth checking your camshaft or advance unit threads match up before you order, since there were earlier and later thread standards floating around in this era.
It's also cataloged under 14-208, an alternate form of the same number, so if your parts book lists it that way you're looking at the identical bolt. With 21 appearances across multiple related figures, this is a fastener you'll run into more than once if you're working through the timing chest.
