3. Install the engine mounting bolts and fender washers
from the back of the  rewall. The engine mounting hardware
is not included in the F6F Hellcat. It should be included with
the engine. If your engine did not include fender washers,
we recommend purchasing them. The larger washers (1/2"
[12 mm] or larger) will help distribute the load from the engine.
Apply a drop of thread locker to each bolt before installing
them in the engine standoffs. For a reference, once the engine
is installed, the front of the engine drive washer should be
6-3/4" [171mm] from the front of the  rewall.

4. Install a 2-56 ball link ball on the throttle arm and the
choke arm and secure them with a 2-56 nylon locknut. Also
make sure the throttle arm is positioned as shown. Apply
thread locker to the screw before reinstalling the throttle arm.
❏
5. Temporarily install the engine inverted on the aluminum
standoffs.

6. Snap a nylon ball socket onto both pivot balls. Center
the choke and throttle arms and mark the  rewall where the
pushrods will need to pass through. Also mark the location
where the fuel line will need to pass through the  rewall.
