Yeah, that brake booster under there caused me some grief too. I can't believe I thought of the nut thing. Usually I'm not that clever, like when I welded those exhaust brackets in 1/2" too far to the outside and couldn't get the bolts past the boxed frame. I'll be making some small "U" shaped removable covers for the rectangular holes.
