OBS Motor mount Question

On the plus side, being picky can keep you from making some expensive mistakes. You aren't working flat rate to my knowledge, so take your time.

I just put new "clam shell" mounts like yours on my truck and had the same issue. I just got each bolt started on as many threads as I could (after some applied force) and zipped the bolts the rest of the way with my cordless impact. I think it's just a structural design and has something to do with the steel body of the mount. Mine turned out just fine and made a huge different from the mounts that were original from '98.

That's interesting, I was easily able to get all the nuts started with no force needed... Anyways, it does appear to be the way it's supposed to be.
