Rob,
Check the uncompressed thickness of the three layers of fiberfrax (ceramic
fireproofing between the SS and the firewall - it may be thick enough to merely
cut some out where the bolt heads are located. Also, slight
countersinking of the bolt head makes for better potting (more secure).

I'm at
the point where I'm ready to attach my gas strut to the nose gear
strut on
my 360. The manual states that the preferred way is to pot the two
bolts
into the firewall and cover with 1 BID. This sounds easy enough,
but,
from what I can tell, the firewall won't be flat any more at this
area.
These are bolts, so they can't really be countersunk. There is
an alternate
connection method which is to go through the stainless and be
on the other
side of the firewall. This doesn't sound as nice as the
first method.
Someone else mentioned to me about connecting the gas
strut to the top of
the wheel well, but I'm concerned about this changing
the angle and force.
It looks like this would physically fit if I shim it
with some phenolic.
Does anyone remember what they did to connect their
gas strut? Does it
matter if the firewall is no longer
flat?
Thanks,
-Rob
