Re: Donz '65 SWB Stepper Budget Build...

I've struggled every time I've had to detach or reconnect the rubber mounts and having that extra bit of maneuvering room for the bolt would make the job much easier.
Thank You very much for the suggestion Mark!!!
I will do just that because when I first mounted the engine, I was working alone and even though I only stated the first bolt by hand (leaving it severely loose), I still ended up fighting with the other bolt...
