Is that bolt actually seating in the retainer? Or has it been torqued up on top of the retainer?

It's a locking tab, the bolt is torqued up and then the lock tab/retainer goes over the head of the bolt and is bolted down itself. That way the bolt cannot undo!

Yes I understand what the retainer is supposed to do. If you look at the photo the flats of the bolt dont line up with the hole in the retainer. It looks like the retainer has been put on first and then the bolt torqued up. Therefore the retainer is not doing its job.

You must be looking at a different photo to me. It looks normal to me. The retainer is like a 12 point socket and is sitting over the head of the bolt.

Didn't realise it was 12 point. Now it looks good!

I will post up a pic of a retainer tomorrow so you can see it a bit clearer.

I had the same impression as you originally. That photo is a bit tricky!
