So I'm getting ready to put my fuse on a rotisserie, and trying to work out mounting it to the firewall. I've read the threads here and the consensus seems to be that drilling the engine mount holes to 3/16" is OK, since they'll be enlarged later on for the mount itself.
My concern, though, is that drilling from the firewall side, there's a seam in the underlying spacers, and I'm concerned about the drill bit wandering:
On the cabin side, there's a preexisting hole in each weldment, which I think would be a better spot to drill from (note: I'm referring to the larger of the two holes here):
I'm assuming that this hole is in the same location as the prepunched firewall hole, but I'd like a sanity check before I go making holes in things. Thoughts?
