Need Focus Help

[Bill Glaze]

Steve:
Don't know about others, but here's what I did:
After cutting the motor box down by 3/4", I had to cut down the top and bottom
plates by a like amount.  Be careful to preserve the angles.
Now, you have no place to easily access the blind nuts for the firewall from
the inside.  So, I used a small frostier bit, and cut holes in the top plate.
These give me access to the blind nuts for the engine mount.  Put them over the
pre drilled hole, hold them near the hole with forceps, and seat them by
running a bolt through the firewall, and engaging the blind nuts.  After the
blind nuts are seated, you're ready to go.  I'm sure it's not the only way,
maybe not even the best way, but it worked well for me.  HTH.
Any other questions, ask away.
