The reason I ended up "missing" the firewall by an inch is because we designed it from Corvair College, using dimensions that my wife gave me over the phone, and no drawings in hand. Not that my wife messed up, but I didn't give her adequate information to make the measurements properly. I've always intended to put the thrust line where I put it, which is why I added the "firewall extensions" to the bottom.

I've ordered hundreds of bolts from Wicks, many in onesies and twosies, and not once did they send me the wrong one. I don't understand how this could happen. You order bolts from Wicks by part number, not by grip or length. If you give them the wrong part number, you'll probably get the wrong bolt. I'm not sure that I've ever talked to the Warehouse Supervisor, in the many times I've ordered from Wicks, and somehow, I doubt he's the guy that fills ALL of the bolt orders! I have nothing but good things to say about Wicks, and almost nothing good to say about AS&S, but that's based on my own 10 years of personal experience, so your mileage may vary. In my hundreds of orders to Wicks, I've had exactly one thing backordered (for a few days) and got the wrong part ONCE that I can remember.

I chose to make the rectangular frame a little wider that way I can put on "tabs" (ala Dave Mullins) that can be moved fore and aft and shimmed if necessary before final welding. I modified the dims slightly to get my thrust line correct and have the mount attach to the already mounted Deihl nose gear. I've pretty much tacked the mount together with my mig welder until I manage to get my tanks refilled for the final gas welding. I'm pretty happy with it and it was actually a lot easier than I thought.
