Good morning - just doing some planning here but it looks (to my undereducated eyes anyway) that the weld-in and bolt-in mounts are similar. Do people use the Patrick Motorsports one simply to avoid welding?

It looks like a bolt-in one would need holes drilled in the firewall to mount it?

Thanks in advance for the schooling.

I used the Patrick Motorsports weld in mount. I pre mounted it with a big f---king nut and bolt at it's weld in location, then welded it. You can't see the BF bolt head in this shot, but it is what is holding it to the lower firewall. After welding, I just left them in for insurance.

Thank you for the picture. Did you drill through the firewall so you could mount the assembly and hold it in place prior to welding?
