Here's another question.

Tom says we will have the clearance in the splashwell if we drill the lower holes 1/2 inch below the blind holes which would be 6 1/2 inches below the upper mounting holes. These are the holes shown in Green color.

Is is possible to drill the Yellow color holes which would put these holes down 7 1/4 inches below the upper holes? This would be 1 1/4 inches below the blind holes. Would there still be clearance in the splashwell for thru bolting these lower bolts?
