Did you end up getting all the bolts in? I didn't end up putting the ones against the firewall on because the flange is about 1/4" from even touching the firewall and it needed to go down slightly to line up.

I would love to design and prototype a single bar for our cars. I cant for the life of me understand how bolting to the firewall(a stupidly thin piece of metal) would provide any support laterally or vertically.

I bet I could come up with something... AutoCAD away!!
