Rob,
  There is plen= ty of thickness in the fiberfrax to pot the bolts in, and not interfere wit= h the stainless. I had to relieve the aft two layers on mine. Make sure to = check the pressure on the cylinder before final install. That top bolt is a= real pain to get to. Mine is weak, (it's only twenty years old) and will b= e replaced before final assembly. If memory serves, it is a 100 lb cylinder= .

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

These are bolts, so they can't really b= e countersunk.  There is an alternate

Someone else menti= oned to me about connecting the gas strut to the top of

It looks like= this would physically fit if I shim it with some phenolic.

Does any= one remember what they did to connect their gas strut?  Does it

Thanks,
