Step 1
Check the fit of the engine mount you are planning
on using. You may get lucky and not have to remove
the blind nuts.
Step 2
If you must remove the blind nuts, thread an 8-32 bolt
partially into the nut. Lightly tap the bolt to pop the blind
nut away from the firewall. This will prevent damaging the
threads of the nuts. Trim the cross brace to allow for the
removal of the blind nuts near the top of the fuselage.
Step 3
Measure the distance between the original holes in the
firewall. Make a mark centered right and left and top to
bottom using a felt-tipped pen.
