So the longer hex bolts that you ordered are holding the door in place? If so, are there nuts on the back side somewhere?

I nearly always try to snap some pics as they are are helpful to others. Anyway, I haven't attempted the billet fuel door mod to this point simply because I wasn't comfortable with how some members had secured it in place. The hex/nuts seem more to my liking. How many hex bolts/nuts and how many holes did you drill?

If you remember anything else that might enlighten us, please post.
