Thanks!

I am asking because I want to secure down the thermotec header blanket to the protruding header bolts (or hinge on it) and use a nut to secure it to the bolts.

You are right.

Jack, use new header nuts, as they are copper and deform easy.

Some of us cut slots in the front engine panel to match the factory V12 front lower engine cover.
