Was wondering if someone would comment on that :-)

Had them the same way before, but had trimmed the bolt down after install. I haven’t done that again yet.

Thing is, need the full length of the bolts for initial install… the bands then are forced  to conform to the non circular path ( muffler and the pins in the mounts). 

And I hate working the nuts ( nylock) on the bolt with an wrench… used a deep socket and impact gun.

Jeeze… long story short… I like the access with socket this way, I’ll trim the bolts, did it that way before and was no problem …
