Standoff Question
Need to make my standoffs. Should I use 10-32 blind nuts on backside of firewall with through holes or tap standoffs and use bolts on both sides of standoffs?

RE: Standoff Question
I'm sure it depends on what type of engine and how long the standoffs are and what they are made of. In general I prefer to see them drilled through and then bolts through into blind nuts, but that's just me.

RE: Standoff Question
Not knowing what you are making stand offs out of, or what type of engine, I still agree with Tom on drilling through and using 10-32 blind nuts on the back of the mounting box.
If you can't find 10-32 bolts the length you need, 10-32 "All Thread" works great double nutted on both ends with a little Locktite.
