Thanks Cool3D, I still use the stock bolts to secure the fiberglass nose cone. But the equipment shelf is secured to the front fuselage former and braced as it is permanently mounted to the airframe. The nose cone slips around it and mounts to the fuse like the stock nose cone. Truth be told it does not need the stock mounts, it's just a fiberglass nose fairing and it could probably be mounted in a lighter and more convenient way to remove and replace, than it is.
