Hello

Looking for boot cowl installation procedure advice: Using new Univair cowl and Clyde panel

Ive fit cowl and am currently fitting panel....questions:

What size screws to mount cowl? What spacing?

Cut any cable access holes before I mount? Could someone send me diagram where holes go for cables or just estimate after the fact?

What size bolts hold the boot cowl and the engine mount together?

Anything else before I screw it in? Someone mentioned a clamp that holds cowl to frame inside cabin on firewall..

Took a lot of pressure for bootcowl to go flush with frame...needed clamping pressure etc..is this uncommon?

What hardware to secure cowl to panel? Panel to frame under dash? Primer?

Thanks
