The bolt size were as directed in the build manual, but there is not enough room for a lock nut (even a shallow nut) with minimum thread showing. I ended up installing the bolts in the up position. Certainly not ideal. My motor mounts are relatively new, only 100 hrs. I thought I would mention it to others as it is very difficult to see with the engine installed.

For the same reason as you the bolts are upright, and I had checked at the first installation that there was some clearance. I think over time the rubber mounts soften and allow more movement. I fitted new rubber engine mounts and included a washer under each to raise the engine a smidgen to give more clearance.
