So after several attempts to get it just right, we had it perfect, only to realize that we could only drill the bottom two mount points. So we had to take it down one more time to re-rig the hoist to allow access to the top mount point. Of course we then found that we couldn't get to the two middle mount points either. So down again to get the radiators out of the way

After drilling the first hole we discovered that there were no bolts with the ''Firewall Aft'' system and that it had three different sizes. Top bolt was 1/2'', the lower left was metric and the other three were 3/8''. We would have been really frustrated if we had to stop at that point and make a Home Depot run. Fortunately I scrounged enough bolts to hang it for now. What a pain. I guess ''Firewall Aft'' means most of the stuff you need. More on that later.
