rewall and ush with its edges. Tape it in place with
low-tack tape then use a felt-tipped pen to mark the
2-stroke engine mounting holes.

too far beyond the rewall and into the berglass of
the nacelle.

Use an 11/64-inch drill bit in a drill motor to enlarge
the mounting holes.
Step 4
Use a cutoff wheel in a rotary tool to shorten one of
the 6-32 Allen head machine screws to a length of 3/4
inches. Also modify one 6-32 blind nut by removing
one side of the ange as shown.

Press the blind nuts into the mounting holes from
inside the nacelle. The modied blind nut is installed

box. Use the 6-32 x 3/4-inch screw with a #6 washer
and engine mount to draw the blind nuts into place
with a 7/64-inch hex wrench.
