Europa-List: fastening duct to firewall/footwell

The sides of the cooling duct (CD2 & CD3) are attached to the inboard faces of
the footwells by AN3-5A bolts. The manual calls for the corresponding anchor 
nuts
to be installed in reverse to make them nearly flush with the surface inside
the cockpit.

I cant see any reason why they need to be flush - they will be in the area 
beyond
the rudder pedals and quite low down, so should not interfere with anything.
I guess if they are fitted the normal way round, longer bolts will be needed.

Anyone know of a good reason to stick to the reverse installation of the anchor
nuts? It seems less bother to fit them the normal way round, but I thought Id
check that Im not missing a really stupid gotcha by ignoring the manual on this
point!

in friendship
