The elevator bolts were way to wide and have an inverted taper that didn't help in thos application. But the carriage bolts were perfect.
Those could be snazzier with some wing nuts!You can see how the squared section of the bolt fits nicely into the Elgin dropout for added stability.

It looks like the shoulder might be bottoming out against the added drop-out on the inboard bolts causing them not to tighten enough against the bike. You might need to grind some of that material off of the square part of the bolt or open up the hole enough for it to pass through. I hope that makes sense.
Notice the gap between the carriage bolt head and the frame compared to the washer on the hex bolt.
Or some more of the acorn nuts like axle nuts.
Whew! I couldn't follow your reasoning in the original post and thought I was goin' crazy.Total brainfart on that one. The chainring wouldn't be spaced away from the crank (and the piece that hold the chainring still). The spacers go between the chainring and the bearing race. What a dummy.

It's a shame that this Fire Arrow is 6 hours away. That tank has a perfect patina on it.
