PERFECT !! creates a very solid mount. Thanks again !!
Sorry folks, I was out of town for a week and need to catch up now...

Kestrel74, you knocked your's off 10 times
Something seems to be very wrong, and I doubt that you installed it correctly
There would be NO WAY to knock it off without breaking the fiberglass unless you didn't install it right.

Imagine that the washer in this picture is the firewall with the Wellnut installed:

And this is what it looks like behind the firewall once you install and tighten the bolt:

Note how the Wellnut buldges behing the firewall!

Make sure you have it all installed correctly and you shouldn't have any issues with the bracket coming loose.

Let me know how it works out for you.
