Thank you for sending the information!
Ok that would work but curious how you got up in the fuse or was it empty when you installed the inserts.
My holes are on the back sides of the formers that is impossible to reach with everything installed.

That then threads into the fuse with the end with the flat sticking out and to one side. My pylon has a set screw in the side that tightens against that flat. The tank stays mounted to the pylon.
So to install i thread the headless bolts in, then slide the tank/pylon assembly on and tighten the set screw in the pylon. Hope that make sense. The silver paint shows me when to stop screwing the headless bolt in.
