Default engine mount question

I plan on using a dave brown mount for a 46 fx (or ax, haven't decided yet, what's your input on that?) on my four star 40. I am mounting the engine at about ten o'clock, then semi-enclosing it with a balsa cowl, however, everywhere I read I find that I am told to use nuts and bolts for mounting the engine, the dave brown mount comes with screws. if I used nuts and bolts I would have a very difficult time pulling/reinstalling the engine as it would be quite a reach for the nuts. I guess what I'm basicly asking is if it would be ok to just use the screws, or would there be some undesired effect

then a question for the engineers; on the wing mounting area, why cant one use t-nuts instead of tapping the blocks for the wing bolts? not that its a big deal, I was just curious.
