        I need to know if the bolts that attach the engine mount to the
   lower
        corners of the firewall can inserted from the back with nuts on the
        engine side? thanks, Jerry

   I don't know, off hand. I have my bolts installed with the heads on the
   engine side. I suppose you could reverse them, I don't recall if they
   are nyloc nuts, which is a no-no in the engine compartment. How far
   along are you?

If the concern with the nyloc is heat then I would assume it would
be dangerous to use them on the cockpit side. Wouldn't the bolt
transmit heat to the plastic?
