OK now start the problems! [:@][:@][:'(]

Firstly,

the P-36A doesn't come with pre-installed blind nuts behind the firewall for bolting your engine...so you must use your own gear.
I always vote for Dubro stuff that had never failed on me or let me down!

I "tried" to install x4 10-32 blind nuts with 10-32x1-1/4' SHCS....

I drilled the firewall with a small drill bit,then enlarged the holes with a #8 drill bit.
Then tried to install the bolts/blind nuts BUT when you try to draw the blind nuts into place,

the wood is so soft that you end up with no sight of the blind nuts !


And i am really hesitant if this will hold up to the torque of the Saito 120S....anyone with some advice here ?

Then i drilled the engine mount with a small drill bit and then used an #8 tap to make some nice threads!

That worked awsome...then i installed the x4 8-32x1-1/4' SCHS along with the #8 washers and #8 safety lock nuts.
All Dubro.

Here are some pictures.

Please give me some advice for the blind nuts.
