What's the consensus regarding the rear body mounts? I see some using sleeves straight through the body with grommets, and others doing it the old fashioned way with sleeves and washers. I imagine both methods give sufficient support, but the "pinch" method also provides fore-aft body adjustments, maybe to let the trunk fit better.

In my case, the FIA body is much shorter than the 427, and the bottom mounts must be through-bolted due to no access. I did previously install coupler nuts at all 4 points so I'd have some flexibility.

Shall I do it both ways, or do all 4 through-bolted since the lowers are not optional?

I would make them all look the same.
