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?

I think my 182 has the bolts inserted from the cold side of the firewall
with a castelated nut and cotter key on the hot side.  I'll try to
remember to look tomorrow to be sure..
